Bun JavaScript runtime, a major dev tool with high community traction and actionability.
Summary
Bun is an all-in-one JavaScript/TypeScript toolkit written in Zig, using JavaScriptCore for a fast runtime that serves as a drop-in Node.js replacement. It bundles a test runner, package manager (bun install), bundler, and native APIs for HTTP, SQLite, PostgreSQL, and S3, dramatically reducing startup times and memory usage. Available on Linux, macOS, and Windows, it can be installed via script, npm, Homebrew, or Docker.
