Re:Bun 1.4 Rust rewrite is not looking good by domh on Wednesday August 19, 2026 @03:07AM (#49357974)
Let me address each one in turn:

- esbuild - this is normally for TS compilation, which Node can run natively now by stripping types: https://nodejs.org/docs/latest/api/typescript.html#type-stri...

- jest/vitest: Node has a test runner: https://nodejs.org/docs/latest/api/test.html

- dotenv: Node can read .env files: https://nodejs.org/docs/latest/api/cli.html#--env-filefile

Performance, maybe you're right - but if you're doing any IO, I doubt the runtime is really the bottleneck.
