Jarred congrats for the release!<p>I've been following the progress of bun since your initial announcement and today I decided to give it a try, just to play around.<p>Haven't done much with it, but even for the 5 min I played with it I'm kind of impressed so far.<p>- Superquick install PLUS did not require root (like many other installs)<p>- It identified I was using fish shell and added to path (nice!)<p>- I ran a very quick bench on "npm install" vs "bun install" on one of the projects I have, and the performance is amazing. 50seconds vs 4.5 seconds on the first install. Moreover re-executing "bun install" takes 122ms on my machine. Removing node_modules and re-executing it takes 769ms (because of course, it uses a local cache elsewhere, but still). Amazing.<p>I'll probably continue exploring tomorrow and see whether it is able to run the rest of the backend/frontend or whether it gives me a hard time. I've seen there are certain things that are not 100% compatible with node yet, but since the initial impressions are great I'll explore further.<p>BTW A code formatter and a linter would be a great addition to bun.<p>I know there is this ticket:
<a href="https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/discussions/712">https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/discussions/712</a><p>But one of the advantages of integrating both things in bun is that it makes it the perfect standard tool to be used inside of a team. So no extra installations from other projects, no extra mental burden of what to use, etc... bun would be the perfect dev companion with both ;)<p>Probably a linter is a different beast (and not sure you or the rest of people working in bun want to get in there... probably not important right now), but a formatter seems doable and it does add a lot of value from my point of view. Given that bun already runs, installs, tests and bundles, to the very least _formatting_ seems like a natural addition to the family. To me a formatter is part of the standard toolset for developers nowadays.<p>Once again, thanks a lot for the effort to you and the rest of the people contributing to the project!<p>(edit: re-formatted my comment :p)
