I wonder if Bun would already be past 1.0 if all the time spent doing the "bundler" stuff was instead spent on the runtime itself.

Did Jarred think that having a weaker variant of every feature in the Javascript world would somehow make it more attractive? Why was "bun build ..." considered better or necessary when there is `bunx esbuild ...`

I like that it's trying to be a faster Node, and the better native database drivers etc. Having a decent package manager alongside is also nice but anything else makes me question the long term vision/feasibility of Oven and Bun's maintenance.
