The proposition of replacing the layered morass of node-based tooling (node, ts-node nodemon, tsc, jest, ts-jest, webpack, BABEL, 2 incompatible module specs, UMD insanity, 3 package managers!) and the Cambrian explosion of config files that it leads to is super compelling.

The tooling situation around JavaScript is certainly my biggest pain point around it and turns a really very capable and pleasant language (ES6 + TS) into a complete chore. Here’s hoping that Bun can deliver.

It has to be a similar feeling as going from CMake to Cargo.
