  "what": "A Zig-based JavaScript runtime, bundler, test runner and package manager in one binary, currently at 1.3.x. Most React teams adopt it just as bun install, which is dramatically faster than npm, while still building with Vite.",
  "why": "Install times drop from minutes to seconds, and bun x replaces slow npx. You can adopt only the installer and change nothing else about your stack.",
  "warn": "Still 1.x, not 2.0. Runtime Node-compat gaps remain for some native modules, so using Bun as installer only is the low-risk path.",
  "install": "curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash",
