Should we use @types/bun or bun-types package?

What is the issue?

The bun website at https://bun.sh/guides/runtime/typescript
says:

To install TypeScript definitions for Bun's built-in APIs in your project, install @types/bun.

But the version of this package is at 1.0.4, compared to bun-types, which corresponds with the current bun version 1.0.25.
Also, bun-types seems to be directly supported by oven, which makes it seem very legit.

Which one should we use?

Where did you find it?

Additional finding:

the bun-types package does not lead to ts language server being able to find the Bun namespace,
but @types/bun does.

Not sure why this is.

Using bun init -y adds the following to package.json:

  "devDependencies": {
    "@types/bun": "latest"
  },

So go with the latest of @types/bun.

@types/bun is recommended
