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.

Pretty sure one of the Deno day 1 goals was to correct mistakes made during the early days of Node.js.
