I've found it to be at least twice as fast with practically no compat issues.
Twice as fast at executing JavaScript? There's absolutely zero chance this is true. A JavaScript engine that's twice as fast as V8 in general doesn't exist. There may be 5 or 10 percent difference, but nothing really meaningful.

As someone who have been using Deno for the last few years, is there anything that Bun does better? Bun seems to use a different runtime (JSC) which is less tested than V8, which makes me assume it might perform worse in real-world tasks (maybe not anymore?). The last time I checked Bun's source code, it was... quite messy and spaghetti-like, plus Zig doesn't really offer many safety features, so it's not that hard t…
I haven't used Deno, but I do use Bun purely as a replacement for npm. It does the hard-linking thing that seems to be increasingly common for package managers these days (i.e. it populates your local node_modules with a bunch of hard links to its systemwide cache), which makes it vastly quicker and more disk-efficient than npm for most usage. Even with a cold cache, `bun install` with a large-ish dependency graph is…

Is it just me, but I don't find npm that slow? Sure it's not a speed demon, but I rarely need to do npm install anyways so it's not a bottleneck for me. For deploy, usually running the attached terraform script takes more time. So while a speed increase is welcome, but I don't feel it gives me such a boost.

Anthropic may be losing money, but a company with $7bn revenue run rate ( https://www.anthropic.com/news/statement-dario-amodei-americ... ) is a whole lot healthier than a company with a revenue of 0.
If I had the cash, I could sell dollar bills for 50 cents and do a $7b run rate :)
anthropic's unit margins are fine, many lovable-like businesses are not.
Why the hell is a CLI coding agent built in JavaScript? It’s wild what happens when a generation of programmers doesn’t know anything except webdev. How far from grace we have fallen.
That's quite a bit harder if your tool is built using a compiled language like Go.

If that was genuinely happening here - Anthropic were selling inference for less than the power and data center costs needed to serve those tokens - it would indeed be a very bad sign for their health. I don't think they're doing that. Estimates I've seen have their inference margin at ~60% - there's one from Morgan Stanley in this article, for example: https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-anthropic-billions-cl...
>The bank's analysts then assumed Anthropic gross profit margins of 60%, and estimated that 75% of related costs are spent on AWS cloud services. Not estimate, assumption.

Surely you understand the bet Anthropic is making, and why it's a bit different than selling dollars at a discount

It has wayyyyy better nodejs compatibility (day 1 goal)
