Bun
A fast all-in-one JavaScript runtime, toolkit, and package manager
Bun is a fast, all-in-one JavaScript and TypeScript toolkit that includes a runtime, bundler, package manager, and test runner. It aims to be a drop-in replacement for Node.js with significantly better performance, and includes built-in APIs for HTTP servers, WebSockets, SQL databases, Redis, and more. It supports JSX and TypeScript out of the box with zero configuration.
Bun is built from scratch on JavaScriptCore (WebKit's JS engine), natively implementing Node.js and Web APIs while bundling all essential developer tooling into a single fast binary
