I've never used bun, nor did I previously haveany interest in using it, but I did follow jarred for awhile and was impressedby his productivity. Clearly a very bright engineer. I also meandered onto acouple blog posts about zig recently and got the vibe that there was somethingspecial going on here.One big consideration for me when learning a new language are its use cases. Iwant a new tool that can make me enjoy coding and be productive. Ideally, I seeits potential to grow. I saw that pretty quickly when golang started gainingtraction.
