> Replace npm run with bun run and save 160ms on every run

Maybe you can’t falsify this, but it’s a question of risk vs reward.

It’s currently at 0.1 release. Chances are it has a much higher chance of breaking. And when that happens, it would likely take occupy way more time to debug than the hundreds of ms saved.

Also by being new, it means it has not had a chance to cover all the cases yet. That’s the devil. It’s fast now, but it’s an apples to orange comparison until Bun is at a stable release.

Yes, making up your own mind with first-hand experience requires investing time and effort, that's why people like to have other people tell them what to think.

Now we've come full circle.
