Bun

You can run TypeScript files directly without compiling by using the Bun runtime, which executes TypeScript natively alongside built-in bundling, testing, and package management for faster web development workflows.

Bun provides built-in tooling for testing and package management, featuring a Jest-compatible test runner and integrated package manager commands like bun add and bun install to streamline your development pipeline.

You can build HTTP servers and WebSocket handlers in Bun using standards-based web APIs like fetch and WebSocket, enabling the creation of real-time applications and game backends with native runtime compatibility.

To speed up slow Node-style development cycles, Bun resolves this friction by offering an all-in-one runtime that directly executes TypeScript while providing compatibility with common Node APIs.

The Bun runtime supports compatibility with common Node APIs alongside web standard APIs like fetch and WebSocket, allowing you to transition existing Node.js projects and build standard-based services.

To create a minimal server that responds with JSON and echoes WebSocket messages, ask an AI to generate a Bun server using fetch and WebSocket patterns, serving responses on a specified port.
