Did JavaScript just got faster ?
Bun is a modern JavaScript runtime like Node or Deno. It was built from scratch to focus on three main things:
- Start fast (it has the edge in mind).
- New levels of performance (extending JavaScriptCore, the engine).
- Being a great and complete tool (bundler, transpiler, package manager).
Bun uses the JavaScriptCore engine(WebKit), which tends to start and perform a little faster than more traditional choices like V8.
Bun is written in Zig, a low-level programming language with manual memory management.
Most of Bun is written from scratch including the JSX/TypeScript transpiler, npm client, bundler, SQLite client, HTTP client, WebSocket client and more.
