Bun 1.2: It’s Not Just a Runtime Anymore—It’s a Bundler, Package Manager, and So Much More!"


Bun 1.2: The Game-Changer You Didn’t See Coming! 🚀
If you thought Bun was just another runtime like Node.js or Deno, think again! The latest release, Bun 1.2, is here to shake things up. It’s not just a runtime anymore—it’s a bundler, package manager, and so much more. And guess what? It’s giving tools like Webpack, Vite, and esbuild a run for their money!
Here’s why Bun 1.2 is a BIG deal:
🔥 Built-in Bundler: Forget complex configs! Bun now bundles your JavaScript, TypeScript, and even HTML files with zero setup. Just import and go.
🔥 Node.js Compatibility: Bun is now 90% compatible with Node.js, making it easier to run your existing Node projects without changes.
🔥 S3 & Postgres Support: Need to upload files to S3 or connect to a Postgres database? Bun has built-in APIs for that—no extra SDKs needed!
🔥 Faster Than Ever: Bun’s new JSON-based lockfile makes installations even faster, and it’s still lighter than npm or pnpm.
🔥 Standalone Executables: Want to ship your app as a single .exe
file? Bun can do that too!
🔥 CSS & Tailwind Integration: Bun now bundles CSS and supports Tailwind out of the box (with a few bugs still being ironed out).
🔥 C Code in JavaScript: Yes, you read that right! Bun can compile and run C code directly in your JavaScript projects.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Bun is redefining how we think about JavaScript tooling by combining speed, simplicity, and power into one seamless experience.
