> > There’s no silver bullet. It depends on your priorities. So, use this article as a baseline to compare these JavaScript runtimes.
>
> > Node.js: This is the go-to runtime if you prefer a stable and reliable ecosystem that has been tried and tested over the years.
>
> > Deno is recommended if you prioritize security and the latest programming environment features. It also supports Typescript out of the box.
>
> > Bun: This runtime should be your preference if you require high speed, especially when working with JavaScript or TypeScript.

> IMHO Bun is a no brainer - they got everything right from the start to be a succesfull modern Node.js replacement.

> Deno's great but their focus seemed to be quite different. Security, web standards, providing a better way to run Javascript on the server. They didn't find Bun's way to leverage the current Javascript ecosystem; where unfortunately everything's spinning around Node.js.
