Heh I had the same experience but with bun. Lots of subtle bugs on stream and crypto packages where I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what was wrong only to find that it's a known bug in bun. I would have understood that there'd be bugs in relatively new runtime that's undertaking this huge task but it's not drop-in replacement for node as it claims to be and I wouldn't say v1 is stable at all.

That highlights a different difference. There aren't that many bugs in Deno; there's a lot of missing functionality (especially if you have node/npm-colored glasses on), but Deno is pretty much the highest quality "full Javascript runtime" when NodeJS compatibility is not a requirement.

Bun seems to be.. essentially a rewrite of NodeJS with the same basic plan.
