I actually don't mean to bag on the author, but I think my complaint is valid. Maybe if they had a note right next to the curl command that said "This installs a single bun bundled executable. Here's a link to the GitHub releases if you'd like to install it yourself", that would be helpful.
replyMy point about interpreted languages stands though. These bundled javascript runtime "apps" eat at least 500M of RAM on boot. That's totally not needed for a CLI tool. If it's not bundled, then it's even worse as you hit the supply chain and tooling interference problems. There are a lot of good, modern, compiled languages. CLI builders should pick up those stacks imho.

replyIs it? I see some kinda subscription, so there's gotta be some non MIT portion of it
That page seems to indicate that the subscription is to a real-time data feed, rather than the software itself—am I mistaken?
replyUnless you're paying to turn on access to purely a third party feed (which would be odd to me) there's some server side code taking those feeds and that the app is calling. Is that server code MIT licensed?
replyAn open source interface to a proprietary backend isn't really fully auditable.
