> Bun is not 100% compatible with Node.js yet. In practice, much of the existing JavaScript ecosystem just works.

I don't care about 100% compatibility. NodeJS is a standard but dead to me.

I rather have faster feedback loop and less development/build/test time than worrying about Node.JS compatibility.

Bun is the answer for my flow.

Bun might as well promote itself as the total replacement of Node.JS, and I will still hop in.

Yeah, I'm more interested in them covering the majority of people's needs and use cases than I guess having a hundred percent compatibility with libraries I'll never use.

I'd much rather it be a focus that I could run bun in serverless, sandbox, wasm, or workerd-like environments for agentic workflows where bun is the runtime to power additional functionality for AI agents.

I assume this is why Anthropic purchased them beyond just a PR stunt and where the project is going.
