* [bundows] Make bun install 60% faster * [autofix.ci] apply automated fixes * Do not keep node_modules folder open between async tasks. Make sure we call runTasks on every event loop wakeup. * Update install.zig * Fix deadlock * Make that deadlock impossible * a little less repetitive * Fix test failure with local tarball * Get those tests to pass * Normalize absolutely * lets see how many times we call GetFinalPathNameByHandle * Workaround https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/19586 https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/19586 * Is the dev-server-100 test failure a hash table collision? * Give it its own cache dir * We cannot change the git task ids --------- Co-authored-by: autofix-ci[bot] <114827586+autofix-ci[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

What is Bun?
Bun is under active development. Use it to speed up your development workflows or run simpler production code in resource-constrained environments like serverless functions. We're working on more complete Node.js compatibility and integration with existing frameworks. Join the Discord and watch the GitHub repository to keep tabs on future releases.
Bun is an all-in-one toolkit for JavaScript and TypeScript apps. It ships as a single executable called bun.
At its core is the Bun runtime, a fast JavaScript runtime designed as a drop-in replacement for Node.js. It's written in Zig and powered by JavaScriptCore under the hood, dramatically reducing startup times and memory usage.
bun run index.tsx # TS and JSX supported out-of-the-box
The bun command-line tool also implements a test runner, script runner, and Node.js-compatible package manager. Instead of 1,000 node_modules for development, you only need bun. Bun's built-in tools are significantly faster than existing options and usable in existing Node.js projects with little to no changes.
bun test # run tests
bun run start # run the `start` script in `package.json`
bun install <pkg> # install a package
bunx cowsay 'Hello, world!' # execute a package
Install
