Deno wanted to be different but never did enough to force its way. Maybe if they had 10x the funding to rewrite the ecosystem. Now it's in limbo.

Bun aims to be a better replacement to Node. There's less to consider so it's just a matter of if it's compatible enough and faster / better to warrant the switch. A lot easier to swallow.

There's plenty to consider if you don't care about Node compatibility. From what I've read (including in this thread and on the Bun PR page), Node seems pretty messy, with modules coming from different sources in different ways. In Deno you just import with a URL.

I know very little about JS and TS and "modules," but from a newcomer that's how it all looks. I'm happy to have any further insight!
