    can execute TypeScript directly.

    Did the word “directly” get the same fate the word “literally” got? As in, it completely lost its real meaning?

    Bundling a compiler/transpiler and directing inotify at a source directory (for glorious hot-reloading) doesn’t a language “runtime” make. Otherwise, I can create “runtimes” for any language in three lines of code right now.

    unless you’re saying that Bun is slower.

    Are you saying JavaScriptCore is faster than V8? Or is the majority of time in webshittery operations not spent on actually running code, and that’s how bun “wins” ?
