From what I've heard there are two main use cases: - People use bun as an all-in-one frontend web bundler. Personally, I just use esbuild (and webpack, if I'm working on a system using its module federation, like Jupyterlab). My understanding is bun has a machine-translated port of esbuild (ported to Zig, then to Rust) built into it. - Claude Code runs on bun. The second point has to be why Anthropic acquired them. | |||||||||||||||||

I run it in production for multiple systems. Ready to migrate back to node once the slop version is out. | |||||||||||||||||
