Dealing with MJS/CJS is a pain. I'm more upset that Bun made that possible and Node hasn't. If there is one feature I would love to see Node.js steal from Bun it would be allowing intermixing require and import. But until Node does, it's just one more non-portable coding practice that would bite you if you wanted to move away from Bun later, so as convenient as it is, I would be far too afraid to actually use it.

JSX and TypeScript are Meta-Languages, and there is a large section on that in the post. For quick convenience it is nice, but for a real long term project there are many downsides to using Bun instead of a pinned, versioned, dependency.

All good points. I wish I could code like you can write.
