Interesting. Bun sounds great, from the article. i’d like to hear the devil’s advocate now - what are the reasons not to use Bun on new projects…

It’s still an immature ecosystem, and there are things that just don’t work with bun, or don’t work as well/are as performant unless you’re in a “lab” environment.
That said, I will be looking forward to using it in some small projects and wait for it to mature

Bun is clearly the future of web development, thanks to its performance and numerous features. Great article!

Good article, very understandable !
