I don't see how Bun will solves security and packaging issues of node.

It's marketed as a compatible runtime with node package and runtime model.

It's from what i see only tackling performance side of things.

Even then, i doubt performances will keep it's promise once it becomes featurefull.

I think you're right, but also keep in mind Bun is in its infancy. Hopefully they take some inspiration from Deno and try to solve those security and packaging issues.

In fact no, the answer is pretty symptomatic of someone who don't care about security. It's almost a joke to read such an answer.

That’s an odd take. In deno, there could be a bug in the runtime detection. The linked suggestion is to avoid runtime bugs by removing features a user doesn’t want (like networking) from the bun binary entirely.
