> 1. It seems the Bun.file API (https://bun.sh/docs/api/file-io) doesn't provide a way to distinguish between a zero-size file and a file that doesn't exist. Is this right? If it is, it would be nice to have one. It doesn't have to interfere with the lazy loading.
Yes that is correct and not good. Pedantically, files which don't exist can be created between the call to check if it exists and after. In practice though, it is pretty annoying
> 2. Do you cross-compile Bun? If you do, how has your experience been cross-compiling with Zig when you have a C++ dependency?
We cross-compile the Zig part but not the C++ dependencies. zig c++ was too opinionated for us the last time we gave it a try. I'm optimistic this will improve in the future though.
