Bun (software)

Bun is a JavaScript runtime, package manager, test runner bundler built from scratch using the Zig programming language.[3] It was designed by Jarred Sumner as a drop-in replacement for Node.js. Bun uses JavaScriptCore as the JavaScript engine,[4] unlike Node.js and Deno, which both use V8.
