> I would have expected Zig

You can use Zig instead if it meets your needs, but last time I checked, the Zig ecosystem was lacking compared to Rust.

> or using Deno instead, if Rust as extension language

Deno? There was a thread the other day that Deno is dead. I wouldn't even compare Deno and Bun because Bun is just waaay better. Even before Bun already felt very polished and nice to use, and now it even has native postgres and s3 clients. And it doesn't try to sell you a KV database or some shit.

The point I was making was using the same language the VM makes use of, instead of adding extra layers.

I mean, I guess there would be some point if you, e.g., forked bun and wrote new APIs in Zig. But if you are using FFI it doesn't really matter because the interface is C ABI anyway; there's no extra layers in using a language different from the one your runtime uses.
