I'm curious if it will be as fast after implementing some must have features like sourcemaps, minification, and tree shaking?
Can you explain why you think a transpilation step will prove to be a technical challenge here? The "bundler" part of Bun seems like a very small piece, and not something that would impact its performance as a runtime too greatly.
A lot of the conversation around Bun's performance has included the performance of non-runtime things like how fast it can install packages, perform builds, cold-start, etc
I only use JS/TS on the client side, which will end up running in the browser, thus being able to use Bun to create production code will require these features. I didn't say they were technical challenges, but these processes require more complex analysis and algos.
