Good write up! I was hoping it was going to conclude with the author getting buns zig build way faster than Rusts but a good deep dive nevertheless

Having spent ~3 weeks of evenings and weekends on this, I was a bit burned out to keep trying to optimize especially because all of this code is just a dead end anyway...

The fix seemed to be to split up Bun's Zig module into ~100 pieces just like they've done on Rust but how representative that would have been on anything Bun might of shipped is very much in question!
