Hi Jarred, I am curious about your insight into the source of Bun's performance advantage over Node.js. The Bun website[1] writes this:

  Why is Bun fast?

  ... Zig's low-level control over memory and lack of hidden control flow makes it much simpler to write fast software. ...

Is your sense also that this is the root cause of Bun's outstanding speed? Node.js is written in C++ (although not primarily) which also requires low-level control over memory.

Is there something about C++ that makes it less well-suited than Zig for what Bun does?

Or is the problem with Node.js that it relies too much on JavaScript rather than C++ in hot paths?[2]
