Bun 1.0 ➹

My distaste for JavaScript is not just due to the incredibly messy and (let’s face it, terminally lazy) npm ecosystem, but also to nodejs itself and its foibles. bun fixes a lot of what I personally don’t like when working with server-side JavaScript, and right now it can finally run Node-RED (at least a brand new 3.1.0 install), so I am quite taken by it (and even if I don’t particularly like TypeScript, I see no harm in getting it as part of the package, although I would have preferred wisp).

Time to go and test some of my stuff on it. Oh, wait, I seem to already have a bunch of things to do this weekend…

Update: Well, it has no dgram support, so none of my cute UDP/multicast services work on it as yet. Let’s see if that gets added to 1.1.
