Performance benchmarks for Node 25.6.1, Deno 2.6.9, and Bun 1.3.9, measuring HTTP throughput, JSON parse and stringify, hashing, buffers, and async scheduling.
It’s not checking other’s claims, it’s not saying anything new, it’s not even listening to the majority of the parties.
For each of the parties (node, deno, bun): they are incentivised to only release benchmarks that make themselves look good, and are disincentivised to release benchmarks that make themselves look bad.
This article only uses benchmarks from one party then declares it the winner.
