This reads as a bit salty but I’m not mired in javascript enough to evaluate the specifics. My impression is that bun is quite liked in the community. These appear to be a few minor grips.

Anyone have more in-depth understanding?

The post is claiming the Deno benchmarks created by Bun.js devs to compare/market their runtimes makes nonsensical choices that are more adequately explained by a malicious intent to misrepresent Deno than oversights.

Seems to be the case IMO, but it's not 100% cut and dry. Bun.js' position could be adequately explained in every case as "the defaults/obvious choices for these benchmarks in Deno are slow", but then again they are consciously making apples to oranges comparisons which feels dishonest to me.
