Did anybody test Node-RED with [bun](https://bun.sh/)? Is it even possible? I am curious about the performance.

I found [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/nodered/comments/x0rf3w/bun_javascirpt/) and tried but I think NR is still using node, not bun.

There is already a thread open around this topic: [Node-RED within the Node.js ecosystem: Node.js vs. Deno vs. Bun](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/node-red-within-the-node-js-ecosystem-node-js-vs-deno-vs-bun/81182)
