Bun is a fast, all-in-one JS runtime; highly actionable and popular but not brand new.
Summary
Bun is a Rust-based, JavaScriptCore-powered runtime that serves as a drop-in Node.js replacement, bundling a package manager, test runner, and bundler into a single binary. It dramatically reduces startup times (sub-second vs seconds) and memory usage, supports Linux, macOS, and Windows, and includes built-in APIs for SQLite, PostgreSQL, S3, cron, WebSockets, and more, enabling near-zero-config migration from existing Node.js projects.
