Bun (compiler) + TypeScript (type checking) + Prettier (code formatting) gets me most of what I like about working with Go, and I'm excited to use this tech in the future.

This totally works, and I'll say that it's uniquely satisfying to save a document and see the link numbers get instantly reordered properly.
This totally works, and I'll say that it's uniquely satisfying to save a document and see the link numbers get instantly reordered properly. I've done it probably 100 times in the course of writing this post.
