then you have to define "works well enough to replace Node"

i was excited about bun too, until v1's "drop-in node replacement"

that was in no way a drop-in node replacement. using that would be the fastest way to kill a business with its terrible bugs and rough edges.

i used to be really excited about deno, but now i think the tradeoffs aren't going to be worth it for mass adoption. i sometimes write servers in go. now that i have go installed, should i use it for all my servers? no, it's just another tool with different trade-offs. most times, node will suit my project better.
