"],[""],["### Takeaways"],["Bun can be a lot faster than Node and it's going to be very exciting to see the further development of the project. This does not take away from Node however, Bun is still unstable as good as it is and it has a pretty different style that takes getting used to. I know that I will be using Bun in future projects but will stay with Node for anything that needs reliability. One thing that does need to be addressed before Bun can be seen as a competitor to Node is the documentation."]]'>
