from that blog post:
"Unlike Node.js and other runtimes that are built using Google's V8 engine, Bun is built using Apple's WebKit engine. WebKit is the engine that powers Safari and is used by billions of devices every day. It's fast, efficient, and has been battle-tested for decades."
That's really interesting, does WebKit do less JITing or something to be faster for startup?
- billywhizz 3y agobun startup is fast compared to other JS runtimes but imo this is little or nothing to do with JSC versus v8 as the javascript engine. i did some experiments a while back and wrote them up here if you want to take a look. https://just.billywhizz.io/blog/on-javascript-performance-03/ https://just.billywhizz.io/blog/on-javascript-performance-03...
