The reviews

10x faster package installs, native TypeScript, and built-in test runner. It's replacing Node.js in my new projects.

Helpful?

Speed is real and measurable. Node.js compatibility is good enough for most projects. The future of JS runtimes.

Helpful?

Bun is forcing Node.js to improve. Competition in runtimes benefits everyone. Speed + DX is the winning combination.
