I think their move away from a binary lock file to a text based lock file in this release makes this pretty clear - they shoot first and ask questions later. Any of those problems they've identified with the binary lock file are kinda obvious if you think about it for a bit. A strong indicator that you should think about it is that the popular languages with package managers (npm, ruby, rust) have text based lock files. The fact that the bun team didn't think about it and thought that binary was better because it was faster and no one had thought of this idea feels like hubris to me.

It's cool that they're doing the mainstream thing now, but it's something for them to think about.



Or they think extensively about performance.

Regardless, the switch shows they pay attention and are willing to change.
