Bun
Bun is a toolkit and a runtime for TypeScript
Introduction
Bun is a runtime focused on performance and being all-in-one (runtime, bundler, package manager, transpiler).
Bun is designed to be a drop-in replacement for Node.js, supports most of the same APIs and features, and offers superior performance.
