Kamran AyoubHOST
HTTP servers, PORFOR can now host an HTTP server efficiently.
Kamran AyoubHOST
Comparing to Node, Bun, and Deno, an unrealistic Hello World server uses 10 times less memory and beats all 3M performance for throughput and latency.
Kamran AyoubHOST
But I think the operating word there is unrealistic.
Kamran AyoubHOST
But that's still really cool.
Kamran AyoubHOST
It defaults to node true, dino true, bun true, and your own value is merged into that default.
Kamran AyoubHOST
So stable Node.js releases switch without asking because PMPM verifies them against the Node.js release team signatures.
Kamran AyoubHOST
Deno, Bun, Node.js pre-releases, and package bins you enabled yourself all ask do you trust this project once per project and per version.
Kamran AyoubHOST
So that's pretty cool.
TJ VanTollHOST
This week on Front End Fire, we discuss whether the thing meant to help us is actually making us dumber.
TJ VanTollHOST
We discuss Bun's new release, because it's a lot.
TJ VanTollHOST
And OpenAI is apparently all in on WebMCP.
TJ VanTollHOST
It's Front End Fire.

Paige NiedringhausHOST
But there is going to be, or there is a... you know, good enough kind of mentality.
Paige NiedringhausHOST
And what's under the hood is a lot less, people care a lot less about than they would have in the past, especially in the development community, maybe.
TJ VanTollHOST
Well, if you want to see where I think things are headed, because I'm going to be talking about Bun has a big release this week.
TJ VanTollHOST
I'm going to be talking about here in a minute, but we were looking at their project this week and they're averaging something like two to 300 commits per week on that project.
Kamran AyoubHOST
Very exciting.
Kamran AyoubHOST
We have a Bun announcement.
Kamran AyoubHOST
So we've talked about the, the Bun Rust rewrite, which, uh, was going to be coming out with Bun 1.4. And it's been a few months.
Kamran AyoubHOST
It's been, I think, three months, uh, since they started the, started the rewrite.
Kamran AyoubHOST
And so Bun 1.4 dropped.
Kamran AyoubHOST
So this is the, the big kahuna, the one with, the one with Rust.
Kamran AyoubHOST
So they've got a whole video on it.
Kamran AyoubHOST
So if you wanna, if you wanna watch that, you can.
Carl VitulloHOST
Okay, moving on.
Carl VitulloHOST
Bun has had a big release.
Mark EriksonHOST
It's the single biggest changelog I've ever seen.
Mark EriksonHOST
It's for what is technically a minor release, except that they also literally rewrote the entire thing from ZIG to Rust with AI.
10 MINS LATER
Mark EriksonHOST
Can you just do it in Rust? The React team did an AI-assisted port of the compiler logic from TypeScript to Rust.
Mark EriksonHOST
That is in the React repo.
Mark EriksonHOST
but then the question is how will that integrate with other build tools? So other teams, Biome, OXC, Bunn, et cetera, have been taking the Rust code and trying to figure out the best way to integrate it.
Mark EriksonHOST
And the OXC team in particular has actually pushed ahead in a lot of ways.
TJ VanTollHOST
picturing.
TJ VanTollHOST
So Jared Sumner, creator of Bun that we talked about on the show several times.
TJ VanTollHOST
That's
Jack HerringtonHOST
awesome.
TJ VanTollHOST
When Bun got acquired by Anthropic, Jared became an Anthropic employee.
TJ VanTollHOST
So that's some of the background here in case you're not aware.
TJ VanTollHOST
But I just love the idea that Jared just woke up one day and was like, you know what? Let's take a stab at the Riemann hypothesis, which not being a mathematician, he doesn't know much about.
Adam ArgyleHOST
Like, I'm not an OpenClaw at all.
Adam ArgyleHOST
All I am is a Discord chats to Bun, Bun forwards to Claude.
Adam ArgyleHOST
Like, I have two contact points that, and then a whole bunch of get back to data.
Adam ArgyleHOST
In fact, dude, I set up...
Adam ArgyleHOST
I'm just gonna toot my own horn right now.

Sonos?" And I'm like, "Yeah." And it's like, "Cool, you got a Sonos." Like, like the Open Claw defaults, like when you install it or like there's a bunch of stuff that's like-
