In a nutshell

Bun is the future of JavaScript tooling. The speed gains are real and the all-in-one approach eliminates tool fatigue. Compatibility is not 100% yet but close enough.

What's great

10-100x faster than Node for many operations
Replaces multiple tools
Drop-in Node.js replacement for most code

Watch out for

Not 100% Node.js compatible yet
Windows support is newer
Some npm packages may not work

Best for

JavaScript developers wanting dramatically faster tooling

Not ideal for

Teams requiring 100% Node.js API compatibility
