FWIW this similarly-trivial "Hello world" benchmark shows Bun's lead at ~25% faster than Deno at the moment, which doesn't seem insurmountable. https://github.com/denosaurs/bench

Those benchmarks are measuring the speed of the tool used to run the benchmark, not the http servers. Take them with a pack of salt.

"Take all benchmarks with a grain of salt" is my middle name, but the benchmark I linked to is an open source project with 17 contributors. In contrast, I'm not seeing any source referenced by the Medium benchmark article I responded to.

Doesnt deno bring a bunch of security improvements to the table?
