Bun is intended to be a drop in replacement for Node.js, with Node.js compatible APIs. Deno chose to go a different route with the design of the runtime, encouraging more modern web-native paradigms.

Deno changed their opinion recently and will offer Node.js compatibility. Apparently it wasn't such a good idea to not be compatible on purpose.

I actually have mixed feelings on this one... since I think Deno's approach has been generally cleaner, but also recognize the scale of what's in NPM.

Didn't realize that, thank you. I can empathize with Deno's desire to take backend JS in a more web-native direction.
