Bun v0.5.7 - Hackdot

Recent versions of Node.js implement many web APIs. The ecosystem is converging on a mix of web APIs and Node.js APIs. Excluding a few cases (like setTimeout), this won’t be a recurring tradeoff for Bun's runtime APIs (module resolution, however, is complicated).

A problem I had in NodeJS the other day, NodeJS has 3 stream classes: require("stream").ReadableStream

require("stream").Readable require("stream/web").ReadableStream

I was using node-fetch and fastify but I decided to remove node-fetch to just use global.fetch and everything broke.

Turns out node-fetch and fastify uses require("stream").ReadableStream, but global.fetch() uses require("stream/web").ReadableStream (because it is a web standard). Took me a few hours to figure out why it wasn't working, getting some "ReadableStream is not a ReadableStream" error is very fun to troubleshoot

I don't know what approach Bun should take in this regard, but I would like to see NodeJS deprecating non-standards as much as possible so eventually this problem can go away. ECMA should also standardise things required for server-side code more
