We could drastically simplify the building and deployment process of our services. By far the greatest advantage is that it runs TS natively. Dropping the compilation stage simplifies everything. From docker imaging to writing DB migrations to getting proper stack traces.

You don't need source maps. You don't have to map printed stack traces to the source. Debugging just works. You don't need to configure directories because src/ is different than dist/ for DB migrations. You don't have to build a `tsc --watch & node --watch` pipeline to get hot reloading. You don't need cross-env. No more issues with cjs/esm interop. Maybe you don't even need a multi-stage Dockerfile.

That's for bun. Deno might have a similar story. We did not opt-in to the Bun-specific APIs, so we can migrate back if Bun fails. Maybe we could even migrate to something like ts-node. Shouldn't be that hard in that case.

IMHO the API of Bun, as well as the package manager, sometimes tries to be _too_ convenient or is too permissive.
