Bun

Bun is the fast, all-in-one JavaScript runtime and toolkit: it replaces Node.js, npm, and multiple development tools with a single, cohesive executable.

Bun delivers a high-performance JavaScript runtime, built from scratch in Zig and powered by Apple's JavaScriptCore engine (not V8). It functions as a drop-in replacement for Node.js, but unifies the entire development workflow: the runtime, package manager (e.g., `bun install`), bundler (`bun build`), and test runner (`bun test`) are all integrated. This architecture dramatically reduces startup times and memory usage, offering significant speed gains, especially in tasks like package installation (up to 30x faster than npm) and server-side rendering.
