Bun's rise over Deno is honestly shocking. One man's project that went viral because of some very misleading benchmarks has evolved into a behemoth in an incredibly short time frame. Some major projects bought into the benchmarks and adopted it for important projects and thus it was thrust into stardom.

I was naive enough to believe Deno's ascendance was all but guaranteed with Ryan Dahl's name on it and the direly needed security guarantees it offered.

the problem with Deno is probably because of the lack of npm packages compatibility.
When's the last time you used Deno? I've had more npm packages succeed in Deno than in Bun. npm-compatibility hasn't been a problem for years
i admit it's been years. glad to see it has improved.
