With that in mind, is there anything that yt-dlp uses the Bun runtime for which it can not use the other supported runtimes for? Similarly, perhaps the yt-dlp maintainers shouldn't keep supporting Bun just because it gives them a good feeling when every runtime incurs a maintenance cost.
That said, as a developer I skim over so much bullshit simply based on "bad feelings". I don't have time to evaluate every potentially useful technology in terms of whether it does what I want it to do, and no one else does either. It's clear to me that Bun is in an experimental phase of development and I think that's a good enough reason to move on if your use case is not.
