With Bun, I have a single dependency which gives me: bundling, runtime, package management, test runner, SQLite, Postgres connectivity, S3 utilities, sane APIs (compare Bun.serve to whatever the heck I had to do in Node), routing…

Basically, Bun is giving us something between Rails and the .Net framework for Typescript. It’s become an (almost) standalone runtime for running low-dependency apps.

Turns into:

    bun
