This microbenchmark in particular isn’t a reason I’d consider Bun. But the sum of many performance and DX considerations that have been put into Bun’s development—and that they are core motivating principles for the creator—certainly are.

As for the error, I suspect it was an innocent mistake. I see no reason Deno would choose to mislead, when they’ve generally very publicly responded to performance deficits by acknowledging them and then actually improving real performance.
