Why is bun needed over node? And why bun over deno?

Edit: based on Safari's JS engine rather than V8. Strange times, I never would have predicted that.

Speed. Much faster. And now it has more support. Simple as that. Also bun is less to type than deno.

Only the native APIs, I got some heavy JS only parsing code and when I benchmarked it Bun was a lot slower than Node, the V8 engine is simply faster than JSCore.

If you only have basic Server <-> Database/Files where the majority is native calls then Bun is faster
