alt Hacker NewsWhat did it get you?
For my projects, I am used to maintaining package manager configuration, bundlers, linters etc.
So I never had much interest in looking into benefits of Deno or bun.

As a non-js developer, Bun compiles my ts code to local executables nicely. Allows me to experiment with the new diversity of ts frameworks and distribute the binaries (hobby scope).

I mean I used to do a lot of things I'm glad I don't have to anymore. I'm not a big fan of doing repetitive work just because I understand how to.
Node at least picked up --run, TS stripping support, .env loading, watch mode, and sqlite (plus some other things I'm probably forgetting) since Deno started so at least theres that.

As a former bun user, speed.
However I now work with software that requires PQC resistance and node's native ML-KEM and ML-DSA abilities made me switch back. Also I'm not particularly an Anthropic fan so that was also a separate nail in its coffin for me.
