It’s a newer, vc funded competitor to the open source battle tested dominant player. It has incentives to lock you in and ultimately is just not that different from node. There’s basically no strategic advantage to using bun, it doesn’t really enable anything you can’t do with node. I have not seen anyone serious choose it yet, but I’ve seen plenty of unserious people use it | ||

I think that summarizes it well. It's not 10x better that makes the risky bet of going into vendor lock from a VC-backed company worth it. Same issue with Prisma and Next for me. | ||

Tailwind uses it. Considering how many people rely on a tailwind watcher to be running on all of their CSS updates, you may find that bun is used daily by millions. We use Bun for one of our servers. We are small, but we are not goofing around. I would not recommend them yet for anything but where they have a clear advantage - but there are areas where it is noticeably faster or easier to setup. | ||
