Bun Update#youtube.com

These are some incredibly exciting updates to bun. The full set of changes are here. The JavaScript runtime I use for this blog is bun so some of these changes directly impact this site!

Standouts for me include:

  • The s3 built in seems awesome, I agree with Theo in that the AWS SDK for node is absolute trash, this seems extremely convenient
  • I use the bun SQLite client and these set of improvements seem really great for type safety and performance
  • The bundler support is something Theo was hyped about and I'm also intrigued, importing static HTML files seems really convenient and the fact it bundles React code (.tsx files) to essentially create a full stack dev server is really cool
  • The package management and test features continue to get better

Loving this update and so thankful for the work the bun team has been doing.
