- Stuff like this makes it really hard for me to take Bun seriously for any production use-cases. The continued disregard for standards and specifications is... bad. 😢 You can't just break tooling across the ecosystem. This isn't cute, it's just reckless.In the next version of Bun Bun won't error when package.json has comments or trailing commas
- Which technology is THIS?
- Cloudflare is looking at releasing TCP Workers very soon, allowing users to connect to any TCP service using Workers. This can include things like databases, such as in this example. It's going to be super exciting to see what everyone builds with this! 🎉 The native API is
- More standards deviation / globals monkey patching. Sigh. One day @bunjavascript and its team will actually care about standards and propose changes like this, instead of just recklessly implementing whatever they feel like with complete disregard for the rest of the ecosystem.To proxy fetch() requests in Bun, pass `proxy` to fetch
- Replying to @jensimmonsI’m not sure bugs or missing support are the main reason people are labelling Safari the new IE, but the update cycle and release schedule. Bugs happen, but updates being tied to the OS and taking weeks or months for critical bugs is what makes it most like old IE in my opinion.
- Today @Cloudflare announced Containers coming as Open Beta in June!! This is incredibly exciting 🔥 I’ve been playing with them for a few weeks now and have had full @nextjs running, some Go, some php, etc. This truly unlocks some incredible new opportunities for edge compute.
- ⚠️ PSA: If you use any of Cloudflare's templates for new @CloudflareDev Workers, your bill is now inflated 3x. They enabled observability by default, which now means that 1M requests is up to $0.90 now, instead of just $0.30, and that's not reflected in any price marketing. 🙃
- The new 3D Secure 3DS2 implementation in @RevolutApp is seriously cool. So easy to use, and no silly passwords.
- Cloudflare’s Hyperdrive was already pretty dang fast, but @CloudflareDev did some magic recently and it’s now even faster 🤯
- Replying to @CherryJimboPeople are really mad about this. I’m not against technical innovation. I’m against breaking years of specification and precedent from so much tooling expecting package.json to actually be json. Json5 is a spec, sure, but it uses its own file extension for a reason. And is why
- Cloudflare’s product suite could be so much better if they had even just half of the DX focus that Vercel do. Fantastic technology, but too much focus on shipping new stuff instead of reliability and developer/user experience. Hopefully this is a focus soon 👀
