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.

I had memory leaks in bun and not in deno or node for the same code. ymmv

Possibly a problem with "organization" accounts? I'm seeing the never-ending spinner too.

It's just an odd claim to make when it feels very much like AI generated content + publish the text anonymously. It's obviously possible to write like this without AI, but I can't remember reading something like this that wasn't written by AI.

It doesn't take away from the fact that someone used a bunch of time and effort on this project.

Did they actually spend a bunch of time and effort though? I think you could get an llm to generate the entire thing, website and all.

Check out the sleek looking terminal--there's no ls, cd, it's just an ai hallucination.

But whoever runs this has to install uv first, so not really standalone.

Is that a dare? /s

Small price to pay for escaping python dependency hell.

I have, but it takes me back many years to some obscure situations I’ve been in. For my day to day, I can’t think of the last time I’ve encountered it, it’s been years, and I regularly am setting up new environments. That’s why I’m curious about the workflows where it matters.

I dunno, 2020? Since then I switched to mamba, then poetry, and now uv. I have spent way too much time fighting python's package managers and with uv I finally don't have to. ymmv

I’ll bite - I could care less about speed, that feels like a talking point I see often repeated despite other package managers not being particularly slow. Maybe there’s some workload I’m missing that this is more important for?

I’ve tried uv a couple places where it’s been forced on me, and it didn’t work for whatever reason. I know thats anecdotal and I’m sure it mostly works, but it obviously was off putting. For better or worse I know how to use conda, and despite having to special attachment to it, slightly faster with a whole different set of rough edges is not at all compelling.

I have a feeling this is some kind of Rust fan thing and that’s where the push comes from, to try and insinuate it into more people’s workflows.

I’d like to hear a real reason I would ever migrate to it, and honestly if there isn’t one, am super annoyed about having it forced on me.

You've never waited 10 minutes for conda to solve your environment and then say it's unsolvable?

The habit is in the 7th paragraph, after 2 images:

> Rather than trying to complete your task in 20 minutes, take this time to write down your thoughts, and a step-by-step action plan of what you think you need to do to finish your task. Then go home. Rest. A feeling of incompleteness will motivate you to come back and finalize your work the next day. Only you will be full of energy, together with a settled plan. No doubt you’ll accomplish your task before lunch.

Manually /compacting your context. Got it.
