Are there plans for bun to read scripts from stdin like node?

I tried piping a script into bun, but it seems it doesn't accept stdin.

❯ node --help
Usage: node [options] [ script.js ] [arguments]
       node inspect [options] [ script.js | host:port ] [arguments]

Options:
  -         script read from stdin (default if no file name is provided, interactive mode if a tty)
  - ...

Also I've created a simple script to add stdin support.

1. Get this shell script
2. chmod +x bun.sh
3. Place it somewhere within your $PATH
4. Create alias bun='bun.sh'
5. Use it as echo 'console.log("test")' | bun

@orl0 this kinda defeats the purpose of piping to stdin if there's an intermediary step of writing to disk behind the scenes. the whole point of using a pipe is to run everything in-memory and without more than necessary syscalls. this usually translates to a miniscule performance win in CI.
