deno desktop is INSANELY thorough. I assumed it would be super basic but it's actually a real electron killer. Notifications, DMGs, support for bundled CEF (Electron style) and native WebView (Tauri style), Auto-updater, multi-window support, and on and on. @deno.land cooked so hard with this one.

Answered this on twitter a few weeks ago when the Deno team showed me what they were working on. I'm glad I'm inspiring people. Electrobun 2.0 brings the same modular innovation I shipped for the renderer (system, CEF, WGPU) to the main process enabling Deno, Bun, Node, Zig, Rust, and Go.

I just wrapped up a 3 month embedded product research engagement for Dash (next generation IDE built with Electrobun), once I get the Dash Alpha out, Electrobun 2.0 gets all my focus (new zig core is pretty solid already), then Cottontail (new tiny js runtime, modular, zig accelerated, big std lib).

Jarred makes a convincing case that they have been doing reasonable human code review of rust bun port and will only ship 1.4 when they are actually confident in it. Andrew’s post shed light on things that raise different broader concerns about bun. My Electrobun 2.0 post will clarify direction.
