#82Earlier quoted context omitted.
Its strange how flip floppy the JS ecosystem is, because go back literally 1-3 years or so and the BIGGEST complaint was the lack of a standard library and having to use a package for everything. But now that Bun is actually doing it its somehow bad? Its also still open source, so those implementations you mention need dedicated teams can still get the attention they need by the community if needed. I'm on the side t…
Is that flip-flopping or just different developers having different preferences? Those who complain now would have had no reason to complain back then, and vice versa
I'm pretty sure it's this. There's a genuine split in the developer community over this issue. And the JS community in particular is enormous.

#83This is a huge win for Bun & Anthropic. I've been keeping an eye on Bun development cycle since they announced the Rust rewrite and the huge drama and backlash it generated. They seem to be proving the skeptics wrong with this release.
It's way late and seriously over budget, hard to call that a success.
It's an unconditional success no matter how you slice it.

Re: Bun 1.4
#85I recently pivoted to Rust for the backend development, after getting tired of the nodejs ecosystem fragmentation and how fragile things feel. Bun seems very interesting since it allows you to do so many things without pulling in 3rd party libraries and bundlers? Is anybody using it instead of nodejs? how's the experience so far? I might have to give it a try. Yes, I know there's probably better options than Rust for…
I use it heavily for personal use and find it works very well and lets me ship small applications quickly. I still use rust and other languages too as appropriate.

~3 months start to finish and the price of 1 engineer for a year, to rewrite a critical infra codebase that tens of millions of user software relies on . Truly the goalposts keep moving. This kind of project would've have been 10x the effort and price a few years ago.
Yeah, crucially, a lot of such projects never get greenlit.
Claude building stuff means a lot of things that everybody wanted to do, just couldn't allocate the attention or other resources - now get built.
Re: Bun 1.4
#89It's weird their promotional video repeats "you can do without installing dependencies", if I want headless browser testing is that wrong to install a project that offers that? Why would I want everything reimplemented in this massive binary? Why would Bun be anymore in touch with nuances of all these different technologies then individual projects dedicated to their own speciality? JS Runtime, Package Manager, Test…

In 1.3 you couldn't even use the repl without downloading dependencies.
In 1.4 it is now finally built-in, hurray! That alone is why I'm going to install 1.4. Finally a truly portable typescript repl.

What budget?
