A few years ago there was one server runtime that mattered. Now Node, Deno and Bun push each other — with better performance, built-in tooling and a nicer developer experience.
Competition raises the whole bar
Each runtime forces the others to improve. Built-in TypeScript, faster starts, safer defaults: features that were once special are becoming the baseline.
Our take
We choose pragmatically and without a camp. The real win is that the floor rises — whatever you pick, you get better tooling than a year ago.
