Their info about "rm -rf" not working in Windows is slightly misleading. In PowerShell, you can accomplish this by running: rm -r -fo my-folder-name

How many Linux/Mac devs know that? We live in a left-pad world, of course people will install a package to get a simple job done.

Note that the `hyperfine` example is actually measuring two nested shells. Unless hyperfine implements a shell-parser of its own, of course.

Love that bun just implements anything that could be useful.

They are busy building useful stuff whilst others pontificate about what they should/shouldn’t build

It feels like the people behind bun are trying to differentiate from node so much that they sometimes don't stop to ask why. I'm sure there's a use-case somewhere, but if I'm using js I will just use a regex instead of reaching for grep. If I want the shell I'll use the shell.

It does feel like Bun is trying to do a lot. And when the company depends on VC funding I think it’s fair to question whether you want to rely on them for a core project functionality.
