I work on Bun. Happy to answer any questions.

We honestly should've done the text-based lockfile awhile ago. The JSON parsing overhead was very obviously not the right tradeoff compared to the DX impact. But I'm happy with all the implementation tradeoffs it imposed (reallocation gets complicated)

I'm really impressed you've made the system faster as part of this work. Kudos
