A Short Guide to Using Bun

via deliciousbrains.com => original post link

Bun is an all-in-one JavaScript runtime and toolkit created with the explicit goals of serving as a drop-in replacement for Node.js, eliminating separate layers of tooling, and speeding up the development experience. In this article, we’ll look at how Bun works under the hood and how to start using it in your projects.

Bun reached a major milestone on September 8, 2023 with the release of version 1.0, marking the first “production-ready” release for Bun’s macOS and Linux builds. The Windows builder, however, is still experimental, with only the JavaScript runtime supported. The package manager, test runner, and bundler included in the macOS and Linux builds of Bun are disabled in the Windows version. The plan is to include them once they’re more stable and their performance has been optimized.
