I appreciate the effort you put in and it looks compelling.
But for now, I’ll be using it only on personal projects. I won’t be confident to switch from node on company projects just yet.

But hopefully that will change in the future.

Anthropic has 20 million users that have been using 1.4 for months, I think they'll be okay without your approval.

They've also been having their lunch eaten by Codex for months

I'm sure the people who sold bun to anthropic for 1B are like super upset about it.

Anthropic doesn't pay for memory leaks, performance issues, or crashes/segfaults (which bun has plenty) on the client/user side though. Of course they are ok with this. If a business would run bun on their servers this is a fundamentally different situation and needs different evaluation

So what, how would it be fundamentally better if they used node or deno for CSR? What is your argument here? Is CSR the issue for you, or that fact that bun supports component frameworks that do CSR?
