The bun build creates a large self-contained executable with no optimisations. Almost like a large electron build.

Deno also provides the same functionality, but with a smaller optimized binary.

Appreciate Bun helping creating healthy competition. I feel like Deno falls under most people's radar often. More security options, faster than Node, built on web standards.

Thanks! Great question, the port is quite primitive. It was mostly manual work of copying each function and manually massaging it to JavaScript. TypeScript did a lot of heavy lifting alerting me to various issues and allowed safe refactors.

From there it was adding additional glue code to ensure it worked in the web context and canvas rendering.

A 99 USD commercial web API. This one, and their other endpoints, require being part of paid Apple Developer program. I understand, but it's frustrating if you're wanting to play around or use in free open source.
