🚀 Bun vs Node.js in 2026 — 5 Reasons Bun Is Better (Beyond Speed)

I’ve been using Bun and Node.js for years, and in this video I break down 5 powerful reasons why Bun is the better JavaScript runtime — and no, speed isn’t one of them.

You’ll learn how Bun improves your developer experience with:
✅ Automatic .env file loading
✅ Native TypeScript support (including enums)
✅ A faster, Jest-compatible test runner
✅ A built-in bundler with single-file executable support
✅ Built-in shell scripting for powerful automation

If you’re building modern full-stack apps, APIs, or AI tooling, Bun can seriously level up your workflow.
