I can’t imagine a merge ever being on the cards. io.js was a fork of Node so merging it back in was a relatively simple proposition. Bun uses an entirely different JS engine so a merge would be horrendous, it would be more like a ground up rebuild.

I’m also still a little lost on the “why” of Bun. I respect the tech a ton having noodled around with the JavaScriptCore API myself in the past. But I’m not sure why I’d use it over Node.
