We need to get a musl libc build of Bun to do it properly. The zig part of that is really easy, but we also need to build WebKit and all other dependencies with musl libc

If you use glibc-compat, you can download Bun from the github releases and that should just work. In a docker image it's about 200 MB (bun's binary is around 90 MB right now, which is way too big imo)

This made me curious, so I checked out bun's repo and it's 217k lines of Zig (ignoring the other languages). Can you share what Zig's build times are like for a project that size?
