loud people on twitter are always switching to the new hotness. i personally can't see myself using bun until its reputation for segfaults goes away after a few more years of stabilizing. deno seems neat and has been around for longer, but its node compatibility story is still evolving; i'm also giving it another year before i try it.

Wow, I thought you were exaggerating, but no: https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3...

Open 80, closed 492.

That's basically just Zig, right? Re-invented C but only fixed the syntax, not the problems.

it’s hard to be convinced that zig is an acceptable idea for security critical runtime for web applications.

And as I understand it, most (if not all) of these segfaults were in casual use, not when someone is trying to attack it..
