Reviewer scorecard
“10x faster package installs, native TypeScript, and built-in test runner. It's replacing Node.js in my new projects.”
“Write server code once, deploy anywhere. The preset system handles platform-specific deployment automatically.”
“Speed is real and measurable. Node.js compatibility is good enough for most projects. The future of JS runtimes.”
“UnJS is building the invisible infrastructure of the JavaScript ecosystem. Nitro's portability is genuinely valuable.”
“Bun is forcing Node.js to improve. Competition in runtimes benefits everyone. Speed + DX is the winning combination.”
“Universal server engines that abstract deployment targets are the right foundation for framework-agnostic backends.”
