alt Hacker NewsVery interesting, but without an ecosystem I doubt this person can keep maintaining it long term. Bun users who don't care about slop will continue to use Bun, those who care will go back to Node.js, and there isn't much left for this project. It is a gigantic task to maintain a JS runtime and add features.

What if adding features wasn't the scope and just providing a fast and memory efficient runtime that doesn't pretend to be everything at once.

What slop does Bun create or cause?

What's the situation with Deno these days? I care about having a fast/secure/modern JS environment and I've been burned by node.js in the past.
I'm not that optimistic for Bun with all the recent churn/slopcoding but the pitch of "use this one good TS tool for everything" is appealing.
