Bun runtime benchmarks are not as expected

[vbudovski]

So I only just learned about this recently, but it appears that Bun can execute things in either native Bun runtime, or using an integrated copy of Node. The current benchmark data is using the Node runtime. It's also feeding the TypeScript code through ts-node, which is completely unnecessary, given that Bun has native TypeScript support.

This will require some changes to the current script execution:

1. Setting bun to run in native mode https://bun.sh/docs/runtime/bunfig#run-bun-auto-alias-node-to-bun
2. Removing ts-node from being executed by Bun

"So I only just learned about this recently, but it appears that Bun can execute things in either native Bun runtime, or using an integrated copy of Node." Where I can read more about that?

@DarkGL The link above talks about it. I had another link that went into a bit more detail, but I can't remember where I found it.

[vbudovski]

Slight correction. It's not an integrated copy of Node, but a Node version on the PATH, if one exists.

[DarkGL]

Thank you, Mind blown, I will work on fixing that

[vbudovski]

I think step 1 is missing from #1560.

[DarkGL]

do we still need it if we use bun run start and it runs bun index.ts ? Thats strange

[vbudovski]

@DarkGL It probably wouldn’t hurt, just to make sure Bun is running in the mode you think it is.

I don't think it's necessary, but I will add it, we run bun separately, and it doesn't have node installed as you can see here

Sure, but people who want to run it themselves will most likely. Just makes it easier to ensure consistency. Thanks for the fixes!

[DarkGL]

You are correct, thank you for taking care of this, good job :)
