An all-in-Bun JavaScript runtime.

Bun: An Exciting, Speedy New JavaScript Runtime — Tired of Node? Tired of Deno? Never. But a new challenger has appeared. Bun is aimed at ‘outside of browser’ use cases and is built around WebKit’s JavaScriptCore, rather than V8. Some notable features:

• Includes its own bundler, transpiler, and task runner.
• Promising performance.
• Supports a lot of Node and Web APIs already.
• You can use npm packages with it.
• Works on macOS (x86 and Arm), Linux, or WSL.

▶️ This 20-minute video does a reasonable job of showing it off, or if you’d prefer ▶️ a three-minute summary from Fireship. It’s early (beta) days but this is an exciting project to watch. (P.S. I’ve heard Bun is called ▶️ Barmcake in northern England..)

The New Wave of React State Management — It’s not a quick piece by any means, but provides a sweeping overview, along with some history and opinion, of the world of state management and some available options.

Simplify Your Full-Stack Applications with XState — State management is one of those things it can take a while to really get into, particularly in areas of development not commonly associated with them, but it can be worth it in order to reduce systemic complexity (at the cost of more code up-front).

PocketBase: A Backend in a Single Binary — An interesting project that could replace Firebase in numerous scenarios. It’s written in Go but ultimately acts as the backend to your frontend JavaScript app. It uses SQLite and you get an admin dashboard built-in with file and user management too. Live demo and rather nice docs.
