Bun is such a great runtime. If you haven't tried it, try it. It's got bells and whistles.

This will make sure Bun is around for many, many, years to come. Thanks Anthropic.

Why Bun?

Easy to setup and go. bun run <something.ts>

Bells and whistles. (SQL, Router, SPA, JSX, Bundling, Binaries, Streams, Sockets, S3)

Typescript Supported. (No need to tsc, bun can transpile for you)

Binary builds. (single executables for easy deployment)

Full Node.js Support. (The whole API)

Full NPM Support. (All the packages)

Native modules. (90% and getting better thanks to Zig's interop)

S3 File / SQL Builtin. (Blazingly Fast!)

You should try it. Yes, others do these things too, but we're talking about Bun.

Does it have permission flags yet like deno has?

I’ve never understood the security utility of the Deno flags. What practical attack would they protect you from? Supply chain seems to be the idea, but how many npm packages do people use that neither:

* Get run by devs with filesystem permissions

* Get bundled into production

Not all applications need file system access during runtime.
