As someone who have been using Deno for the last few years, is there anything that Bun does better? Bun seems to use a different runtime (JSC) which is less tested than V8, which makes me assume it might perform worse in real-world tasks (maybe not anymore?). The last time I checked Bun's source code, it was... quite messy and spaghetti-like, plus Zig doesn't really offer many safety features, so it's not that hard to write incorrect code. Zig does force some safety with ReleaseSafe IIRC, but it's still not the same as even modern C++, let alone Rust.

I'll admit I'm somewhat biased against Bun, but I'm honestly interested in knowing why people prefer Bun over Deno.

I tried several times to port Node projects to Deno. Each time compatibility had "improved" but I still didn't have a working build after a few days of effort.

I don't know how Deno is today. I switched to Bun and porting went a lot smoother.

Philosophically, I like that Bun sees Node compatibility as an obvious top priority. Deno sees it as a grudging necessity after losing the fight to do things differently.
