Some real benchmarks on Bun (compared with Node) -- It only wins sometimes, but it's mostly a fail (www.youtube.com)

Great watch but to summarize:

Bun beats Node/Yarn for package installation
Somewhat better API/DX in some ways.
Loses poorly in testing performance
Tons of incompatibility issues/performance issues in other areas.

General summary: Just don't use Bun yet, seems like it needs some more time in the oven.
