Bun v0.6.0 – Bun's new JavaScript bundler and minifier

• bun

  315 73,040 10.0 Zig

  Incredibly fast JavaScript runtime, bundler, test runner, and package manager – all in one

  

  Looks great! Still eagerly waiting for Windows support: I have a specific use case where I need both a bundler and a package manager to run on the user's desktop cross-platform, and right now that's yarn + esbuild. I'd love to roll this into a single, performant solution. It's already being worked on as far as I know [1], excited to upgrade to Bun when that's available.

• zig

  834 33,659 10.0 Zig

  General-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.

  

  Zig, unlike C++ and Rust, doesn't need an optimized general purpose allocator in order to be fast. Zig outperforms its peers despite currently having a slow GPA in the standard library because the language encourages programmers down a path that avoids boxing the shit out of everything, which is inherently slow even if you have a global allocator optimized for this use case.

  Rust switched away from Jemalloc because it uses global allocation for everything. Zig's convention of explicit allocator argument passing means such a compromise will never be needed.

  As for "beating trees with a stick", I'll probably end up doing what I did for WebAssembly, which is to ignore the preexisting work and make my own thing that is better. Here's my 160-line wasm-only allocator that achieves the trifecta: high performance, tiny machine code size, and fundamentally simple.

  i just tried recompiling v0.0.2 (https://github.com/just-js/just/releases/tag/0.0.2) of just-js and comparing it to current. for the completely static build on ubuntu 22.04 i see following:

  What are you implying will happen?

  Using the build-in tools, you can save the exact versions of dependencies (i.e. a lock file) using "pip freeze >dependencies.txt". This should give you the exact same set of packages in two years' time.

  If you want to be even more sure, you can also store hashes in the lock file. This has to be generated by a separate tools at the moment [1][2] but can be consumed by the built-in tools [3], so "pip install -r requirements.txt" is still all you need in two years' time.
