gotta say I'm puzzled why time is spent on features like these, rather than focusing on getting the remaining node apis finished

  Second this. I've tried Bun a couple times and have been surprised by how fast it actually is but also run into issues getting it to work with existing libraries. Issues that make it seem like it's almost there but just not quite able to replace node yet in most cases. It's surprising to see effort spent coming up with and developing niche new features rather than on bridging the gaps (within reason) with node. I've never worked on a language project like this before though so I'm not in a place to cast any judgement, just echoing the sentiment that this seems strange from the outside. Maybe this is just what it takes to keep the project interesting for Jarred? I can relate to getting bored with a project once I've proved out the difficult parts and most of what remains just feels like chores

  I wrote nearly all of macros in Bun over a year ago, when Bun was in private beta. We just never documented it or talked about it much Our focus is very much on Node.js compatibility
