What's Good
MIT. Bun-first performance story, type-level validation (TypeBox/Standard Schema), plugins, OpenAPI generation. Ergonomic DX for APIs on Bun.
The Catch
Vs Hono: Bun-first ergonomic lane; Hono is multi-runtime edge-first. Ecosystem and hiring still Bun-skewed. Not Nest/Fastify full Node default.
Verdict
MIT Bun framework. Free forever; Hono is the multi-runtime cousin.
