Doesn't Deno already let us do this?
- chrisco255 3y agoBun is intended to be a drop in replacement for Node.js, with Node.js compatible APIs. Deno chose to go a different route with the design of the runtime, encouraging more modern web-native paradigms.
- hiccuphippo 3y agoDeno changed their opinion recently and will offer Node.js compatibility. Apparently it wasn't such a good idea to not be compatible on purpose.
- tracker1 3y agoI actually have mixed feelings on this one... since I think Deno's approach has been generally cleaner, but also recognize the scale of what's in NPM.
- chrisco255 3y agoDidn't realize that, thank you. I can empathize with Deno's desire to take backend JS in a more web-native direction.
- ignoramous 3y agoYes, that it does. Bun is mostly towing Deno with Zig + JSCore (and per some microbenchmarks, faster than both Node and Deno).
