Node.js vs Bun: which is better for build speed and DX?

The question is about Node.js .

Answer:

Bun is faster than Node.js for build times, thanks to its engine built in Zig that handles bundling, transpiling, and serving all in one - often outperforming Node.js in benchmarks. Bun’s tooling and zero-config approach enhance the developer experience, though the ecosystem is newer and less mature than Node.js’s. Node.js offers a massive package ecosystem but has slower build performance and relies on external bundling tooling.
