+### Bun
+
+[Bun](https://bun.sh/) is being experimentally used as a package manager.
+
+### Build tool
+
+Bun includes a [native JS bundler](https://bun.sh/docs/bundler) that can 
+transpile Typescript.
+
+#### Downsides
+
+We are not currently considering using `bun build` for production builds for 
+the following reasons:
+
+##### Globstar
+
+Bun's [implementation of globstar](https://bun.sh/docs/api/glob) is non-standard.
+It is difficult to build arbitrarily deep filepaths, as Bun expects a globstar 
+for each level of supported nesting. Most glob implementations treat a globstar 
+as representing an arbitrary number of non-hidden directories. However, with 
+Bun, matching `.ts` files in `src/ui/Button` requires the glob pattern 
+`**/**/*.ts`, which does not match files in other levels of nesting.
+
+##### Dist Depth
+
+Generating `dist/` output that has the correct folder structure (i.e., 
+`dist/ui/Button/`) is non-trivial. `bun build` generates output with folder 
+structure starting from matching the shallowest source file. However, this is 
+not always desired. For example, if `ui/` is inside `src/`, one must `cd` into 
+`src` before running `bun build` to generate the appropriate folder structure. 
+You must then set build output to `../dist` to place build results in the 
+project root. This makes the build script unnecessarily complex.
+
+##### Type emitting
+
+`bun build` does not generate types, so it must be accompanied by the usage of 
+some other tool that generates type declarations.
+
+#### Upsides
+
+##### Speed
+
+Bun builds slightly faster than the Typescript compiler.
+
+| Tool | Command                                                             | Real Time | User Time | Sys Time |
+| ---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------| --------- | --------- | -------- |
+| Bun  | `bun run build:package:bun`                                         | 0m0.648s  | 0m1.498s  | 0m0.117s |
+| Typescript  | `bun run build:package:tsc && bun run build:package:copycss` | 0m0.707s  | 0m1.615s  | 0m0.094s |
+
+Note that the bun build must also call `tsc` to generate type declarations, and 
+the tsc build must call the external `copyfiles` dependency to copy assets into 
+`dist/`.
+
+##### Non-TS bundling
+
+`bun build` copies non-TS assets (such as images, stylesheets, etc) into `dist`. 
+`tsc` must be followed up with a manual step that copies non-TS files (currently, 
+this is only CSS) into `dist`.
