I ❤️ bun. But I made sure my project also works with NPM. Turned out. Bun didn't support windows arm executables. But NPM did. So for win arm exe. I use NPM. For other targets. Bun.

Bun is around for quite some time, I wonder why it never made it to PH. Also, haven't they been bought by Anthropic now?

@phil_co I was surprised it didn't launch before and correct!

Congrats! Bundling, running, and installing in one runtime is an elegant developer DX win.

Recently deployed a microservice for our app with Bun and it was such a refreshing DX!

I'm a long-time user - mostly for personal projects, and I’ve even been able to use Bun as a drop-in replacement for some of my Node projects - but this is our first time taking it to production, and so far it’s been great.

Amazing work by the team at Bun, I still remember the 1.0 video - they've come LONG way. 🚀

Do you plan to enhance compatibility with Node.js-specific APIs (to lower migration friction for existing Node.js projects)? Also, will Bun add support for additional package management tools (e.g., Yarn) alongside its built-in npm client?

Bun has been acquired by Anthropic! Wow, big news!
