Bun is a beginner-friendly JavaScript runtime and toolkit that makes building, testing, and running projects faster and simpler than Node.js. Unlike Node.js, Bun comes with everything you need out of the box: a bundler, a test runner, and a package manager—no extra setup required.
While Node.js is a powerful and widely-used runtime, it often requires multiple tools and additional setup to handle tasks like bundling, testing, and managing dependencies. Bun simplifies this by combining all these features into one seamless package, making it faster and easier to get started. It’s a leading choice for beginners to not over-complicate things.
With Bun, working with TypeScript is as easy as working with JavaScript. Unlike traditional setups that require a separate TypeScript compiler (like tsc) to convert .ts files into JavaScript, Bun can run TypeScript files directly—no extra configuration needed. This will aid us in this course.
