Jared has shipped a lot of things that have impressed me. His software is measurably faster than the alternatives, and I have measured it. It runs code that Node et al can't run, and I have tried. These are normal, everyday experiences with software - based in fact, not vibes. I'm not going to argue every decision he's ever made is amazing, but his decisions have historically tracked above average.

He plays around with a toy project in a separate branch, tells everybody to relax that's just an experiment that has no chance of being merged, then abruptly merges 1m lines of code not seen by a human, effectively zeroing out all the contributions ever made by anyone to bun, including contributions in progress.

At the same time, his arguments in favor of Rust are sound, there is no doubt about that.

What kind of code can't node run?

So, you're fanboying?

If we're gonna fight, lets go xbox vs playstation. Javscript runtimes are a snoozefest.

Stating e.g. "Bun is more performant than Node [along a particular benchmark]" is not a fanboy statement. It's a statement of measurable fact.
