I don't think Bun actually matters much, even for web development. For sure there is a lot of enthusiasm, but all the production systems I know continue to use Node.js and are not moving to Bun any time soon. In the "real world" not that many people care about it.


I agree with you, but Bun was still something of a flagship project for Zig. It received a lot of attention, which indirectly helped Zig's popularity.


I find this sad, as I use Bun as a Node.js replacement that works really well. I wanted improved builds times and run speed. Both things bun provided. It reduced ram usage and worked with the node ecosystem well.

So for some workflows it looked like a flat improvement on all parts.


Exactly, it's some niche thing not a lot of people care about in my opinion. I certainly don't.


I work on a site with millions of users and we use bun...


will you continue using it?


We use Bun at work.
