alt Hacker NewsBun is such a great runtime. If you haven't tried it, try it. It's got bells and whistles.
This will make sure Bun is around for many, many, years to come. Thanks Anthropic.
Why Bun?
Easy to setup and go. bun run <something.ts>
Bells and whistles. (SQL, Router, SPA, JSX, Bundling, Binaries, Streams, Sockets, S3)
Typescript Supported. (No need to tsc, bun can transpile for you)
Binary builds. (single executables for easy deployment)
Full Node.js Support. (The whole API)
Full NPM Support. (All the packages)
Native modules. (90% and getting better thanks to Zig's interop)
S3 File / SQL Builtin. (Blazingly Fast!)
You should try it. Yes, others do these things too, but we're talking about Bun.

It'll be around until they realize it makes 0$, and costs them millions per year in salaries/stock. then it will quietly die

Well, until the bubble bursts and Anthropic fizzles out or gets acquired themselves.
