Less segfault, improved security / capability model

The security model is very underestimated imo, it will be very evident when more bun projects reach production and not experimental.

As a Bun user I don't really get segfaults anymore.

I've written C for years. The only time it is safe from crashes is when the code doesn't churn and has consistent timing between threads. bun has constant feature churn and new hardware it runs on all the time providing novel timings. It is very unlikely going to be crash free any time soon.

Just got one today! But yes it is better.

If you want to use rust, and it fits your use case, then use rust. Same as with any language choice if it’s the right thing for you then go ahead.

I have a few million lines of existing TypeScript so will keep using JS runtimes for the foreseeable future.

I have yet no reason to fight IT and architects for having anything besides node on CI/CD pipelines and base images for containers.
