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.

I guess I don’t understand this obsession with speed?

for me it hasn't been build speed but rather execution

I've run into problems with dayjs slowing down requests where I need to do a lot of processing. There are arguments to be made about replacing dayjs with datefns and how I should've been doing it differently anyway, but fact is that if the whole execution environment was twice as fast, it probably wouldn't have been much of a problem at all
