The last three months have not looked good for Bun. It started as one of the most impressive individual engineering projects I have seen, but has now turned into this weird AI-powered creature with continuous false promises and an increasingly frustrated community.

Good news: Looks like Bun's competitive with Deno again on node support.

Bad news: Bun still has poor security compared to Deno.

Wait and see news: Is bun's switch to rust going to be worth it over the long haul, or should they have worked on making their code better, or used a mix of languages where it'd make best sense to do so?
