bun-runtime

Bun serves as a fast JavaScript runtime and toolkit that combines package management, bundling, and test running. It is designed to speed up development cycles for new or existing JavaScript and TypeScript projects.

You can run TypeScript scripts directly without manual compilation by using `bun run script.js`. The runtime natively supports TypeScript, streamlining the execution process for JavaScript and TypeScript applications.

Yes, Bun supports Node.js compatibility, allowing you to integrate it into existing JavaScript projects. It provides a streamlined experience for managing dependencies and running scripts without breaking your current workflow.

The best way to speed up package installations is to use Bun's built-in package manager. Running `bun install` significantly reduces package installation time compared to traditional tools, optimizing the development cycle for new projects.

Yes, you can use Bun as a single tool for bundling and testing JavaScript applications. It combines a bundler and test runner alongside its runtime and package manager, providing a comprehensive solution for small to medium-sized applications.
