  1. aube

    A fast Node.js package manager

    Aube[0] seems interesting to me, I have submitted it as show HN after hearing about your post. Its created by the same person who has made mise and I actually discovered it when I was browsing through on mise.en.dev website

    I still use bun, but I think that there are some other pathways so I am not that worried about myself personally. But that's also because I most often than not code in golang rather than typescript/javascript

  3. perry

    A native TypeScript compiler written in Rust. Compiles TypeScript directly to executables using SWC and LLVM.

  4. bun

    Incredibly fast JavaScript runtime, bundler, test runner, and package manager – all in one

    I don't think bun worked well before the acquisition. Don't get me wrong, i used it all the time for little scripts, but i would never ship a service at work on bun. Between memory issues and incompatibilities that never get fixed, it is a nice toy to me that did a great job of exposing room for improvement in nodejs.

    No idea how you were using bun test on anything beyond a simple js library. For example, i'd been following this issue https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/issues/14102 and eventually all the libraries shipped "if bun do x" into them, which is the opposite of compatibility.

  5. WebKit

    WebKit with patches (by oven-sh)

  6. node

    Node.js JavaScript runtime ✨🐢🚀✨
