About Bun
Bun is rewriting its core from Zig to Rust while shipping built-in APIs at a monthly clip.
Bun ships a substantial point release roughly monthly, each widening Node.js compatibility and folding more capability into the runtime itself — image processing, Markdown parsing, cron, archives, a headless WebView, HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 clients. Performance work is constant, with double-digit speedups landing release over release. In July the team disclosed it is rewriting Bun's implementation from Zig to Rust.
