Why do they call it oven when you of in the cold food of out hot eat the food?
I feel like there’s two reasons why I don’t understand your comment at all. Either you made a pun somewhere in there that just went way over my head, or it’s way too early for me to be up. But I have no idea what „of in the cold food of out hot eat the food“ could mean
It’s consistently in the top 5 fastest web framework (beating out Rust, etc).
Just-JS is already faster than Bun.
Additionally, JSCore appears to be a significant reason why Bun is faster than NodeJS (V8). Just-JS is investigating switching to JSCore as well - which will only extend its lead.

I love these funny names. First time I introduced HomeBrew to my gf, she was all laughing at the funny terms: keg - Program binaries created from source bottle - Program binaries downloaded cellar - Directory where kegs / binaries are stored tap - git repository cask - macos native binary (not used in Linux)
Ok, but I'm not really looking to my package manager for entertainment. To me this jargon is just needlessly obtuse.

It's an incredible achievement, though I worry about the use of an unproven language (Zig) that lacks memory safety by design. JavaScript runtimes, especially those with JITs, have been plagued by vulnerabilities from memory safety, type confusion, and data races. Node.js, despite being based on V8, is still susceptible independently of V8 and introduces its own vulnerabilities. It's not sufficient for the runtime to…
As you say, there's still plenty of room for vulnerabilities in the parts it does implement, and Zig isn't strictly memory-safe. However, Zig has lots of modern features like optional-types that help quite a bit with avoiding memory errors: https://www.scattered-thoughts.net/writing/how-safe-is-zig/
Which is to say your question is definitely valid, but there are also reasons to think this isn't as huge a concern as it might seem

I am fairly confident that Zig does not lack memory safety by design; from what I understand, the language as a whole isn't even finished, and the memory safety design isn't like a GC'd language or like Rust, so people assume there isn't memory safety when in reality it is at least partially implemented.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I 100% agree. Cutesy names should end once the package name has been chosen. Package authors and contributors that overdo the thematic names should stick to writing fiction, not code.
"keg" and "bottle" are cutesy? well, to see the exact opposite of "cutesy", please fork homebrew and give all of those things GUIDs for names, including all the packages a user could install; you'll soon see why the names chosen are quite acceptable, indeed.
Are Bun and Deno in direct competition or do these projects address different markets?
They are roughly in competition, though Deno made the decision early on to largely split itself from the ecosystem and existing conventions of Node (and an enormous body of existing JavaScript packages on npm), whereas Bun did not. Bun, AFAIK, aims to be compatible with Node and existing the npm ecosystem.
My only hope is that Jarred gets some rest for a bit. According to his Twitter he's been pulling 80 hour weeks and while that does lead to impressive work, it's not great from a human perspective. Hope he can rest up and keep this going for the long haul!
