I was going to comment this same thing.

I don't know enough about what Bun does... But Rust is so insanely complicated, it's hard for me to wrap my head around how Bun is equally complictated.

Complicated things can often be expressed very succinctly - the hard part is in understanding why the short program does what it is supposed to.

Simple things often take a lot of space, simply because there's a lot of similar but different simple things that each need to be written down.

Lines of code just isn't a good measure of "complicated".

They are complicated in different ways. The rust compiler doesn’t include redis, Postgres, and S3 clients for instance.
