No, but faced with either a loss or a modest return, they'll take the modest return (unless it's more beneficial to not come tax season). Unicorns are called unicorns for a reason.

The question was why do investors invest

Reminder that LLMs only(?) consume energy on the order of a few seconds of Netflix[1].

Either for a modest return when it sells or as a tax write off when it fails.

VCs do not invest for a modest return.

Same. I had a little library I wrote to wrap indexedDB and deno wouldn't even compile it because it referenced those browser apis. I'm sure it's a simple flag or config file property, or x, or y, or z, but the simple fact is, bun didn't fail to compile.

Between that and the discord, I have gotten the distinct impression that deno is for "server javascript" first, rather than just "javascript" first. Which is understandable, but not very catering to me, a frontend-first dev.

Even for server ~~java~~typescript, I almost always reach for Bun nowadays. Used to be because of typestripping, which node now has too, but it's very convenient to write a quick script, import libraries and not have to worry about what format they are in.

As someone who have been using Deno for the last few years, is there anything that Bun does better? Bun seems to use a different runtime (JSC) which is less tested than V8, which makes me assume it might perform worse in real-world tasks (maybe not anymore?). The last time I checked Bun's source code, it was... quite messy and spaghetti-like, plus Zig doesn't really offer many safety features, so it's not that hard to write incorrect code. Zig does force some safety with ReleaseSafe IIRC, but it's still not the same as even modern C++, let alone Rust.

I'll admit I'm somewhat biased against Bun, but I'm honestly interested in knowing why people prefer Bun over Deno.

It just works. Whatever JavaScript/TypeScript file or dependencies I throw at it, it will run it without needing to figure out CJS or ESM, tsconfig, etc.

I haven't had that experience with deno (or node)

In comparison with healthcare information systems the GDPR is really not that hard to follow. You can get guides for business owners which can be read and understood in under an hour.

If you design your system according to the guidelines you usually end up with a product where it's easier to service your customer (eg. with full account exports). Deleting inactive accounts is great because it means less migration headaches in the future.

This is also why our privacy statement starts with "We […] don’t really want your personal data."

Can you point to any of these guides?

But you are rarely looking at it from street level, you spend most of your time in a birds-eye view

I guess you could argue that top down should be defined narrower than that, but the steam tag Top Down is full of games like this [1]

Detailers spend a lot of time in 3D perspectives and zoomed in close so I don't think that this is generally true.
