Thanks 小倉唯!

imo, there are two typescripts

Typescript for library authors: power tools for adding in-editor documentation & feedback as-you-type to your library

Typescript for app developers: good editor autocomplete that helps catch bugs and mostly gets out of the way

Debugger support for Bun is coming to WebStorm!

In the next version of Bun

process.on('uncaughtException') is implemented.

I love it when people ask for things that already get better in the next release

We are focusing on making Bun the best JavaScript runtime, package manager, test runner, and bundler for teams & companies to run in production environments.

What’s next for Bun?

Production

context: one of axios’ tests fails when run in Bun because we currently ignore the “content-length” header a user passes. This is what browsers do, but not node:http. So we probably need to do something special for node:http specifically, but the general q is interesting.

Bun 1.1.8 ships on Wednesday

In the next version of Bun

Brotli compression is implemented in node:zlib
