I wonder how Deno's faring.

Node's the stable solution and will be with us forever. You can now use TypeScript with it and, soon enough, you'll be able to build your app to a single executable -- including native deps.

Bun's chaotic but, nonetheless, it's _fast_ and it's taking an interesting approach by including everything in the stdlib. Plus, bought by Anthropic.

Deno had an awesome story with the sandbox and ease of import for third-party dependencies. Sandboxes feel pretty commoditized now and I'm not sure the import mechanism ended up being that much nicer than a `npm add`.

It's good to have some options, to prevent the ecosystem from stalling

You can already ship single executables, my product's CLI is a Node single executable application

Whoa, did not know that. That's a killer feature!
