Not quite... I'm a fan of Deno myself and have been using it as a shell scripting language for a lot of things. That said, Bun has had some different points of focus, some better imo, some worse.

One thing Bun did, that I wish Deno had was a built in API for Sqlite databases. Deno has had the library in the runtime for a while, but has resisted exposing it directly. While I get the reasons, it would help with security integration over the other options IMO.

I think integrating SQLite (libsql) and even Tuirso/AstroDB (libsql-server) support in the box could really be a boost to app development productivity myself. While the latter would be more difficult in self-hosted scenarios.
