    been using it since yesterday, 100% based. the package manager is a bit broken, doesn't install stuff like puppeteer that require external binaries properly, but you can just use npm as normal. what I love is the little things like typescript support .env support etc. also it hasn't even been out a week. it'll get better in time.

      It's been out for several years now. It didn't just pop into existence at version 1.0.

    My experience with it was pretty good actually, it does simplify tooling quite a lot. I hope it gets more mature with time.

              There was a lot of competition, even from big companies like Microsoft and Adobe. They all lost.

                i can only think about dart as javascript competitor. unfortunately it was just another js compiler. google should make dart as a native chrome language.

            Ok boomer, most people don't use websites anymore they use apps. All popular apps are written in a platform native language using the platform native ui framework.

              Yeah, like Discord, Tesla app, FB Messenger, MS Outlook and many other apps.
              Not everyone uses JS, but JS won.

    I just used it for a basic project that's related to JSDOM.

    Holy shit, sub-2 second npm install and basically out-of-the-box debugger integration with its VSCode extension (you don't have to fiddle around with launch.json for Node). I don't even know how I can cope with Node from now on.

    Also Bun.file and Bun.write for file I/O.

      >Bun.file and Bun.write
      i don't understand why this is a selling point. there is a file API in the browser. They should align themselves to that at all times instead of inventing their own interfaces, making the same mistakes that nodejs made.

      fastest js engine so far with typescript support out of the box AND includes by default an .env reader, so it will read .env files and load them in memory automatically, while on deno and nodejs you need a package for it which is called env-env something

        Why that would be a game changer feature?
        Cant you just, you know, read a file from disk?

          average JStranny doesn't know how to read and parse a basic key=value file from disk without importing a package that in turn imports 20 other packages that in turn import 500 other packages

    I tried it, it just freezes during Axios get call. But my usage was really simple, I replaced it with fetch() calls and seems to work well.

        That is the engine, not the runtime.

        It's not WebKit, it's JavaScriptCore, which is the JavaScript engine that WebKit also uses.

        Why would a developer need a windows machine?

        Everyone in node uses the npm package "dotenv" for managing environment variables.

        The logo is retarded.

        Logo and name are alright, the best thing is the company name who create it.

          supposedly bun's commands are familiar to anyone coming from npm so in a unix environment you can do something like this in your .aliasrc
          alias
          npm="bun"
          but then again why not just run bun if you'll be running bun anyway
