It was never that large but it did have a shot at getting more popular - until this drama.

No one worth their salt is building on Bun anymore, the creators and maintainers of bun have demonstrated their complete lack of care around engineering and support. It’s just too risky.

I regularly use bun, it's a decisive speed improvement over node. Large parts of the ecosystem build on bun.

If you install bun you're still getting the zig version.

I don't see major reasons to doubt the rust rework, especially as so much capital and token investment is being thrown at it.

As long as it fits better than alternatives, I see no major reasons to change.
