Or all those JavaScript "compilers" that don't compile anything, but instead stick a binary blob onto the end of a prebuilt Bun binary --- or worse, just wrap Bun's implementation of this blob-appending and not even earn the watered-down "compiler" label. Accomplishment inflation isn't going to end well.

Or those Sams Visual Basic books that taught you to "build your own web browser" by dropping the IE component and some buttons and stuff on a form.
