Bun v0.5

I work on Bun. Happy to answer any questions or feedback

Really appreciating bun&#x27;s ability to set custom WebSocket headers.<p>Incidentally, what&#x27;s up with the resistance against this from the standards maintainers? [1]<p>The request exists since 2017, there are tons of use cases and developer interest, but Chrome refuses implementation on technicalities. What gives?<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;whatwg&#x2F;websockets&#x2F;issues&#x2F;16">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;whatwg&#x2F;websockets&#x2F;issues&#x2F;16</a>

Starting to look promising. Work projects not working yet due to the need of `dgram` and `async_hooks`.<p>Would leveraging `async_hooks` be possible in the future with the used non-v8 engine or would there be some alternative?

Makes me happy seeing newer alternatives to Node, it’s exciting!

As is with all things in the JS world, I usually ignore new things until they have some traction.<p>Is Bun ready to be used for production projects?

Please add musl build here:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;oven-sh&#x2F;bun&#x2F;releases&#x2F;expanded_assets&#x2F;bun-v0.4.0">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;oven-sh&#x2F;bun&#x2F;releases&#x2F;expanded_assets&#x2F;bun-...</a>

Is there a roadmap to getting to a 1.0 stable release?

Does Bun also generate standalone executables? I&#x27;m interested in using it for CLI apps.

Anybody care to explain on how it achieve such numbers in comparison to node and deno?<p>Why would anybody not use Bun, other than the cost of migration, given the performance improvement?<p>Nevertheless, amazing performance. Feels refreshing to see more improvements to the JS&#x2F;TS community.

Seeing the perf benchmarks for `vite build` with and without bun will be the ultimate practical test of bun for me, excited for the next release where we&#x27;ll hopefully see that support.

Awesome to see workspaces get some love, but kinda odd they shipped it without support for globs. Guess I&#x27;ll keep waiting to try it out on my projects.

as a newbie to bun, is there a reason to use it beyond it being an alt to node&#x2F;deno?<p>i mean, i don’t know how many people even use deno, let alone bun.

Still can’t run Node-RED, which would be a key use case for me.

I see Oven (creator&#x27;s of Bun) are hiring. I imagine the pool of javascript developers that they could hire from is tiny. Add in Zig and it&#x27;s even smaller.

can bun be used for front-end? i.e. to replace create-react-app + Webpack + etc

I wish I could support Bun but I honestly can&#x27;t ethically support someone who explicitly wants to hire people to work insane hours, and has right-wing billionaire bootlicker tendencies.<p>I mean he&#x27;s a Thiel Fellow, which should give you an idea of what I&#x27;m talking about.

why is this project constantly benchmarking against deno and node? it seems to attract good attention this way but I wonder what else it offers besides performance.
