I doubt it would work out. The engineering cultures could not be any different.

I think different cultures can contribute to eachother, they don't have to hold hands. I'm sure open minded curious developers can look over the fence and appreciate the differences and adopt practical aspects of each other, maybe the time to stop and smell the roses is to poetic and altruistic. It's a JavaScript server/packager/framework drag race for pink slips!

well bun could 'gradually become deno':

1. add 'enhanced security mode' that's actually 'deno-compatible/like' (permissions, etc)

2. mark libs/executables/etc as 'enhanced security compatible'

3. ...merge by buying out deno?

A Bun team willing and able to execute your plan is not one willing to merge a vibe-coded rewrite in a couple weeks.
