From a link mentioned elsewhere in the thread:

> Unlike other npm clients, Bun does not execute arbitrary lifecycle scripts for installed dependencies, such as `postinstall` and `node-gyp` builds. These scripts represent a potential security risk, as they can execute arbitrary code on your machine.

I've also found the Bun standard library is a nice curated set of features that reduces dependencies.

Hmmm, it still has a pretty extensive default list of permitted npm packages, which wouldn't necessarily be a problem if there were a way to disable it, but I can't seem to find it.
