TCO in this article = Tail Call Optimization, not Total Cost of Ownership. It makes the article more interesting!

It's also not Tjänstemännens Centralorganisation, the largest white collar union in Sweden, and also the org behind the TCO labelling of computer monitors.

  If you google TCO, at least where I am (North America), "Total Cost of Ownership" is the first result - and the dominant one on the first page of results. It's also the main definition of TCO that most people are probably familiar with, me included. This felt like a reasonable clarification to make.

    I guess for anyone interested in Bun and Javascript, it would be more obvious. User what does "TCO" mean in " Bun, JavaScript, and TCO" ChatGPT "TCO" in "Bun, JavaScript, and TCO" refers to "Tail Call Optimization."

      Usually not for JS people, because they don't get to use recursion much, due to decisions by browser makers. More likely that people from other, usually FP languages think of the actual meaning it has in the article or in the computer programming world.

Actually, as a chiefly Java/C# person, I was hoping for the article to cover how Bun helps lower the Total Cost of Ownership of Javascript projects by helping to get off the hamster wheel of infinitely deep npm dependency trees, wild west of constant project deprecations and major version releases with immediate deprecation of previous versions, daily game of CVE alert whack-a-mole etc. Preferably, short of writing all the code yourself.

  I also assumed the other TCO when I clicked through, which would have been an interesting take to read for sure (particularly since Bun is so new, so I was wondering how much data would be backing this analysis), but I'm not a strong functional programmer so any time someone covers functional-adjacent topics, it's interesting to me! I'm with you on wanting to learn and explore more about Bun's main advantages though, the bundled tooling and some of the convenience APIs feel like well-planned time/effort/maintenance optimizations.
