The Bun DX is infinitely better than Node's, especially for Typescript projects

  In what particular way? I've been using Typescript a lot more recently (unfortunately XD) and I've found the native experience in Node to be totally fine.

    Node's built-in profiler doesn't work with Typescript, which is one part of Node not natively supporting TS. Idk how it is in Bun, cause that made me abandon TS rather than abandoning Node.

      Node supports ts natively now though.

        even enums? last I tested, it did type-stripping only. And looking ad docs, it seems it only has partial support still: https://nodejs.org/api/typescript.html https://nodejs.org/api/typescript.html > To use TypeScript with full support for all TypeScript features, including tsconfig.json, you can use a third-party package. These instructions use tsx as an example but there are many other similar libraries available.

          And this partial support is fairly recent. If it says anything other than "ts is fully supported exactly the same as js" then I'm gonna pass on ts.
