What Hacker News says

toastal·Jul 6, 2022
It's a shame proprietary Discord is their only communication option, and proprietary GitHub their only Git mirror. They're even advertising the Discord in the CLI (https://github.com/Jarred-Sumner/bun/blob/e4fb84275715bb4de4...). Also the shorthand syntax `bun create github-user/repo-name destination` is favoring users choosing GitHub above others instead of not favoring any specific Git forge (the best path I've seen is how nixpkgs supports github:u/repo gitlab:u/repo sourcehut:~u/repo etc. to shorthand popular options but not favoring any, while still being flexible enough to continue extending).
In Bun: Fast JavaScript runtime, transpiler, and NPM client written in Zig
