Bun Is Better Than I Hoped
When I first heard about the new bun at my favorite bakery, I was skeptical. I had grown quite fond of their original recipe and wasn’t sure if this new version would live up to my expectations. However, after trying it for the first time, I can confidently say that the bun is better than I hoped.
The first thing that caught my attention was the aroma. The moment I walked into the bakery, I was greeted by the inviting scent of freshly baked bread. It was warm, comforting, and instantly made my mouth water. As soon as I took a bite, I knew that this bun was something special.
The texture was perfect – soft, fluffy, and just the right amount of chewy. It had a delicate crust that gave way to a tender interior, and every bite was a delight. The flavor was also incredible. It was slightly sweet with a hint of buttery richness, and it paired perfectly with the savory fillings inside.
Speaking of fillings, the bun was generously stuffed with a savory and flavorful mixture that made each bite a burst of deliciousness. The combination of textures and flavors was truly outstanding, and I found myself savoring every last crumb.
Overall, I was thoroughly impressed with the new bun. It exceeded my expectations in every way and has quickly become my new favorite. I can’t wait to return to the bakery and indulge in this delightful treat again. If you’re a fan of buns, I highly recommend giving this one a try. I promise you won’t be disappointed.
anyone use it in production already here and would recommend it?
x2 ram usage over nodejs in some tasks 🙁
as a devtool ++
as a server runtime and std ~~
Why are my Bun files hidden? How do I get the files to my web server?? When I use GUI and navigate to the folder or directory there’s nothing there, I can’t see any files, but when I navigate there in command line then I see all my .tsx, and beginning files…
Why can’t I see my files so I can copy them over to my web server or how do I do this??
JUst make the move to :Linux bro!!
I guess the question is why do all of your projects need 2-500mb of node modules…
Thank you for making me waste 3 days trying to get it running. It's not ready!
is it not a vendor login when I have to use build-in functionality like bun.write or bun.serve?
Can you share link to the project you tested install speed on? I’d like to test it with yarn 4 in pnp mode with global cache (which I guess you didn’t use in the comparison) as it’s cached instal is super fast
No support for Angular 😭
Can you make a video about running bun on an existing project and see how the transition from webpack to bun-dler is? Thanks!
As I see your video I have a feeling that everything Bun just solves now out-of-the-box should have worked as is before. I'm just wondering why the whole previously existing ecosystem is so overcomplicated…? It's so funny when you stopped for a moment on the fact that Bun can combine requires and imports in the same file and… wow…! Incredible 🙂
ive been doing this now for about 6 years, and in the js, go, and rust world. i can't believe how many things are in js. i started w/ js so i thought this was normal but it is true some package is released like every month lol. this looks great but how do we know this will be around in 5 years
I honestly do not care that much about the performance. Node is maybe slow compared to bun but it's fast enough for most server side apps.
But the Tooling, OH THE TOOLING. This part got me so excited. The number of hours I've spent in my career setting up parsers, compilers, bundlers, dealing with commonJS/esModules, and then fix it when they break due to some weird dependency.
This whole concept of not needing to download 37 modules before I even write a single line, just for the tooling, is soooo freaking compelling.
Bun even works on laravel.
it defaults to fast copy, but that's configurable, you can choose to use hardlinks anyway
Back in the day we had a project that could reload once for 2.5 minutes. Now people consider using something that instead of 6 seconds installs something in 1 second.
Someone said "File cloning on mac OS is essentially like hard linking with copy-on-write. The one downside is that the filesystem doesn't support this for folders."
Is this true? If yes, then you could switch to bun in macOS and not worry about disk space usage. Maybe you could test it out.
Disk space usage is also as much an important concern as performance. I think it's a little blindsided to always prioritize performance no matter what. Balance is key, so the question is: Why didn't they give a global option in macOS to do hardlinking instead of cloning files? (If a developer like you doesn't want cloned files all over your disk, and is willing to accept the lower performance, why not?)
Also, can you just hardlink yourself later? Will it work?
i need a bun plushie
Old dev here… what a day be alive. Complaining about 6 seconds over 0.24 seconds. New dev issues 🙂
