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.

Where I used to recommend Bun, I now just recommend pnpm/Node.js.

Do you have an assessment or opinion on Deno?

Not really, no. From what I've seen, I believe it's based on V8? Other than that, nothing really to say except that the imports look interesting.

I generally target the web, and I haven't had a need for Deno. I could technically use it in my current personal project, but I wanted to give Boa a try rather than trying to figure out how to use Deno's bindings while navigating the limited documentation for them.
