More or less the same but I dropped Bun after Anthropic acquisition so I now default to PNPM and Vitest, which is ok.

While it may as well be the same thing, the Anthropic acquisition isn't what turned me off of Bun, it was the vibe-coded Rust refactor. As soon as that happened I dropped Bun. Deno was what I ended up more interested in (Deno Fresh seemed really cool too), but I guess it's just back to Node/PNPM for me now as well. What is going on anymore...

Yeah same for me actually, I mentioned the acquisition more as a temporal cue than an actual reason, even though they are strictly related in the end: Anthropic acquires Bun to prove their argument, that they have the most awesome LLM technology that can rewrite such a complex product from Zig to Rust for $reasons.

I also believe, like others here, that Bun future is also not safe, Anthropic might decide to kill it as soon as they believe it doesn't bring in any more value.
