I like the premise of Bun, and early speedups are impressive, but I'm not convinced by the project management yet. Lots of design decisions seem to be made arbitrarily (on a whim rather than deeply thought through), and want to see a track record of stability first.
I follow commentary from the dev team... there seems to be a tendency towards "this thing is useful, let's add it" without thinking through the larger API surface area or future issues adding those APIs will introduce. Not sure it was ready for v1 yet. If I were them I wouldn't be afraid to break things and increment the major version at this point.. but once you have real users you pretty much have to maintain your design decisions
I'd love to see these concerns turn out to be unfounded down the line! Also want to see Node adopt an incremental approach towards Rust or similar and focus more on performance in response
Deno I think just missed the mark by a wide margin out of the gate. Seemed to focus on things that nobody was asking for, and also hurt DevX. Perhaps the situation has improved more recently
Podman Desktop on Windows works on top of WSL2 with Fedora image nowadays, but one of the advantages of that, since v4.6.0, it's new --user-mode-networking option for init to bypass harsh VPNs such as Cisco AnyConnect VPN \m/
