Is there a migration guide for Deno users?


Not yet, we haven't released our docs site yet either. Probably won't be there in the first release of our docs, but this is something we should do

If you're familiar with Node, Bun should feel familiar except you don't need as much tooling to use it.

Things like TypeScript, jsx, loading .env files, Jest-like test runner etc just work. You can use the builtin TypeScript/JS LSP in your text editor instead of installing a separate extension. You can import packages from npm without the "npm:" specifier. It's worth mentioning that Bun doesn't support HTTPS imports yet, so you'll need to use npm - but bun has a very fast builtin npm client. Like deno, you can often skip running `bun install` or `npm install` entirely for bun because bun will automatically install dependencies from npm when there is no node_modules folder


do you think it might be too “living on the cutting edge” to adopt this yet?
