    Winter is coming... ❄️

    Below, we can see Bun’s performance: In this specific example, you can see that Bun performs better than WinterJS on my computer. WinterJS is said to run much better natively than when it runs using Wasmer, so this explains its underperformance in this test. A native result might look something like this instead: The sample result above comes from the WinterJS GitHub and shows how it does better natively with this very simple test.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
