Huh? `ls -l | grep '^d' | wc -l`

You need 18 dependencies to generate a page?

`touch index.html`

If you want to go back to elegant HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, it's right there. You don't need bun and whatever this is to use it.

The absolute peak of using web standards is to just open up either the either the W3C or WHATWG specifications. That's it.

Come on man. Be serious for a second. Have you ever even taken a look at the WebKit or Chromium codebase? Whatever it is that you're doing here is so far removed from "the metal" that I doubt you have ever shipped anything that actually needs a compiler if you're writing stuff like this.
