It's not an AI issue. Node.js itself is lots of legacy code and many projects depend on that code. When Deno and Bun were in early development, AI wasn't involved.

Yes, you can speed up the development a bit but it will never reach the quality of newer runtimes.

It's like comparing C to C++. Those languages are from different eras (relatively to each other).
