> what bun does ?
It installs npm packages, it executes JS and TS code, it bundles code for front end, it runs tests. Plus it has a lot of random pieces related to this development, like integrated database access.
Compare it to node, npm, webpack, and jest, all in one, and whatever the guy dreams of. It's certainly fast and offers great DX, but I wouldn't bet on it to stay around for, say, 5 years.
