> Bun.js uses the JavaScriptCore engine, which tends to start and perform a little faster than more traditional choices like V8.
Little faster? Like I said, that's not a *main* benefit as it's not why Bun can be 5 to 10x faster than Node.js

A significant part of Google’s business (Ads, YouTube, Workspace) runs inside a browser, so if the web is slow, Google loses money

Bun is faster because it implements pretty much everything natively and just exposes them in JS, not because it uses JSCore
I believe long term, V8 will become the undisputed champ again as Google has a lot more incentive than Apple to make the fastest engine, but this is just a wild guess of mine, and I'm biased being a Node.js Collaborator
I've been hearing for a while that JSCore has a more elegant internal architecture than V8, and seeing the V8 team make big architectural changes as we speak seems to support it [1], but like I said, hopefully they will pay off long term

You can see when JIT is disabled, the upcoming Static Hermes (Hermes V1) engine from Meta, built specifically for React Native, outperforms both V8 and JSCore on Apple Silicon
It'll be interesting to see how much it will affect React Native apps as it gets more and more optimized for this use case

I wonder how it compares to Brave Search API:
Brave has complete search independence and has been doing this for a while, but I hear Kagi has great results, but at the same time I'm perfectly happy with Brave
Would be cool to hear from people who've tried both

DigitalOcean has been doing this for years, and their value proposition is unmatched IMO
For $5 you get:
Latest gen CPUs and RAM
HTTPS
DDoS protection
Cloudflare CDN
Autoscale
Competent support
I'd say the best part is the predictable monthly prices
And while most people probably don't care, they are an established public company, so there is more chance they will exist in 10 years

Brave Search ONLY uses their own index and the results are really good! I highly recommend it.

Why do you think they are BS? You say it raised legitimate questions about their non-profit status and lack of non-profit related activity.
