Great watch but to summarize:
-
Bun beats Node/Yarn for package installation
-
Somewhat better API/DX in some ways.
-
Loses poorly in testing performance
-
Tons of incompatibility issues/performance issues in other areas.
General summary: Just don’t use Bun yet, seems like it needs some more time in the oven.
for me it hasn’t been build speed but rather execution
I’ve run into problems with dayjs slowing down requests where I need to do a lot of processing. There are arguments to be made about replacing dayjs with datefns and how I should’ve been doing it differently anyway, but fact is that if the whole execution environment was twice as fast, it probably wouldn’t have been much of a problem at all
