The first “real world” project on the Pocket NC was to create 2 replacement Oilite bushes for the mains powered Synchron motor in a 1940’s Kit Cat Clock.

Following on from a previously outlined move to Deno I’ve now moved to Bun 😅

The main thing I moved to Deno for was a nice way to acheive:

• A single executable binary via Deno Compile.
• Cross platform executables via cross-compilation support in Deno.
• Ability to dynamically load and run additional logic after installation via Deno’s support for the Javascript import() function.

After a while I discovered these items don’t all work well together. It came to light that dynamic loading of modules external to the compiled Deno application was not really supported: https://github.com/denoland/deno/issues/18327 Fair enough, everyone has their priorities…

I then read (but can’t remember where) that Bun does support this. 🥳 Ok, game on!
