alt Hacker News> Rewrite the entire node:http stack to use llhttp (Node.js's HTTP parser)
Can we please not turn Deno into junk? If you do the above -- what's the point of Deno?
Once you bolt everything on like that you might as well just use Node.
Deno started off with its own tools. Bun has managed a good balance between compatibility and its own thing (the recent moves aside) without resorting to these tactics...

To demonstrate how amazing bun is in comparison.

We tried to build `node:http` on top of Rust libraries (like Hyper) but we failed for a couple years. So earlier this year we decided to make it compatible (by using llhttp to have very high coverage - at the moment 88% compatibility for node:http module) and then focus on improving performance and slowly chipping away llhttp parts while keeping compatibility.
