I tried several times to port Node projects to Deno. Each time compatibility had "improved" but I still didn't have a working build after a few days of effort.

I don't know how Deno is today. I switched to Bun and porting went a lot smoother.

Philosophically, I like that Bun sees Node compatibility as an obvious top priority. Deno sees it as a grudging necessity after losing the fight to do things differently.

Which makes sense given that a big impetus for Deno's existence was the creator of Node/Deno (Ryan Dahl) wanting to correct things he viewed as design mistakes in Node.
