🛑 Bun’t

🤷 Why?

Because Bun instability causes issues for package authors using node is encouraged instead.
If you’d like to keep using the command bun, please run the command alias bun=node.

Bun is unethical and exploits whatever it can for profit.
It tries to benefit on pure hype, while consistently underdelivering on promises.

What did Bun do wrong?

https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/pull/657 – Ignored PR to make benchmarks more fair and then banned the author!
- On another note, Jarred – making benchmarks fair is “gaming”, but when you pull ~2K LOC just to make stringWidth faster its not?
https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/issues/921 – Bun caches everything about SQLite and doesn’t invalidate it properly
- https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/pull/1056#pullrequestreview-1079694125
- https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/issues/1332 – Even says that he doesn’t want to invalidate it unless its equal to performance!
  Why would you have working things, when they can be fast?
Completely outdated benchmarks on the website? :
- Comparing Bun 1.0 to Deno 1.36.2 (1.35.2 on sqlite benchmark?) and Node 20.5.0 (20.4.0 on sqlite benchmark) where Deno 1.41 and Node 21.6.2 are available
Why doesn’t Bun mention when its slower?
- https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/issues/5197 – 300x slower Regex than node
- https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/issues/8637 – 2.8k requests/s on sveltekit? My grandma runs faster!
- https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/issues/7428 – 100x slower than node AWS S3 writes
- and more!…
Or that it doesn’t actually support all web standards node or deno does?
- And if it does, often incompletely?
Or that it segfaults… whenever it wants?
How about not caring about your own employees?
