Runtimes like Bun, Deno, or type systems like TypeScript don’t change the fact it’s still JS underneath — a crappily designed language that should’ve never left throwable frontend code.

None of these runtimes make JS anywhere even close to single-threaded Go perf, let alone multithreaded (goroutine) perf.

JS is perfectly designed for what it does, frontend and non-CPU-intensive backend code. It's never going to reach singlethreaded Golang perf.
