Bun has completely changed my outlook on the JS ecosystem. Prior to Bun, there was little focus on performance. Now the entire space rallies around it.

Congrats to Jarred and the team!

That's because it's not written in JS at all but a compiled systems language, no wonder it's gonna be fast.

Virtually all JavaScript engines are written in compiled languages. (Most runtimes for that matter nut just JS)

My mistake, I was thinking of the wider ecosystem not the runtime, ie formatters, bundles and linters like Biome, oxc, etc being written in Rust or other compiled languages. That's where I saw the biggest speedup, because developers of them decided to use a compiled language to write them in instead of JS via a JS runtime where you'll inherently be limited by even a JIT language.
