The integrated support for standards like ENV, SQL formats (SQLite, Postgres, etc) and other basics directly implemented into the core system makes Bun rather attractive.

What is Bun?
Bun is a modern JavaScript runtime like Node or Deno.
It was built from scratch to focus on three main things:
- Start fast (it has the edge in mind).
- New levels of performance (extending JavaScriptCore, the engine).
- Being a great and complete tool (bundler, transpiler, package manager).
Bun is designed as a drop-in replacement for your current JavaScript & TypeScript apps or scripts — on your local computer, server or on the edge. Bun natively implements hundreds of Node.js and Web APIs, including ~90% of Node-API functions (native modules), fs, path, Buffer and more.
The goal of Bun is to run most of the world's JavaScript outside of browsers, bringing performance and complexity enhancements to your future infrastructure, as well as developer productivity through better, simpler tooling.

The integrated support for standards like ENV, SQL formats (SQLite, Postgres, etc) and other basics directly implemented into the core system makes Bun rather attractive.
Bun has a high performance, compiled nature, and integrated package manager, which could address some of the pain points experienced with other environments like Node.js.
