I've been tracking Bun since launch, and I'm conflicted about its trajectory.<p>The speed is undeniably impressive - Bun smokes Node.js in benchmarks. The all-in-one approach (runtime, package manager, bundler) is appealing, and Node.js complete compatibility sounds great.<p>Fast forward to now, and I'm starting to get "Not Invented Here" syndrome vibes. Instead of focusing on being a super-fast, compatible alternative to Node.js, Bun seems hellbent on reinventing every wheel in the JS ecosystem. It's like they're trying to build an entire platform from scratch.<p>It reminds me a bit of Cloudflare's approach - they've had success with bringing a lot of services in-house. I wonder if Bun is aiming for something similar, trying to create an integrated ecosystem that could potentially be more cost-effective. It's an interesting strategy, but Cloudflare has significant resources at their disposal. I'm curious how Bun plans to manage this ambitious scope, especially as a newer project in the space.<p>I wish they'd prioritize full Node compatibility and put other features on the back burner. The JS world could use a speed boost, but at this rate, I fear Bun might end up as just another niche tool instead of the Node.js successor it could be.<p>Thoughts? Am I being too harsh here, or do you see the same issues? I'm curious to hear other perspectives on this.
