Wrapping My Mind Around Node.js Runtimes

What's this blog post about?

In recent years, there has been significant innovation in Node.js runtimes with the emergence of alternatives such as Deno and Bun. These new runtimes aim to address some of the issues faced by Node.js, including security concerns and complexity in package management. While Deno focuses on security-oriented features and modern JavaScript support, Bun prioritizes performance improvements and streamlined developer experience. Both runtimes offer built-in TypeScript support and are gaining traction among developers who appreciate their unique features. However, the choice of runtime ultimately depends on specific project requirements and priorities.
