Deno is Joining Cloudflare (But…) — Maybe David Bushell saw the writing on the wall, as the Deno team isn't joining Cloudflare to keep working on Deno, but to fold celld into workerd so Durable Objects can be self-hosted (more on that here). The Deno runtime will get a final year of official fixes, Deno Deploy closes in six months, and JSR moves to Cloudflare's infrastructure.

Ryan Dahl

💡 On Hacker News, Ryan Dahl noted that Deno "has been sucked into the gravity well of Node compatibility" before asking: "Why reimplement Node? It works." But what happens to the JavaScript™ trademark case, I wonder…?

CodeAF: #1 of Ten Coding Harnesses on DeepSWE — Ten coding harnesses ran the same open model on 113 real GitHub issues. CodeAF solved the most and paid the least per solved issue: 3.4x less than Claude Code, 4.8x less than OpenCode. A new open-source coding harness built for open models.

Bun 1.4.3 Adds bun check, a Built-In TypeScript Type Checker — bun check is a port of TypeScript 7's checker that reads your tsconfig.json, reports the same errors as tsc and, Jarred claims, runs 3-6x faster. It plugs into bun run/test/build too. Idle server processes now use far less CPU, and a JavaScriptCore upgrade picks up numerous perf gains.
