Compile and run C in JavaScript | Bun Blog

From compression to cryptography to networking to the web browser you're reading this on, the world runs on C.

That's why in Bun v1.1.28, we introduced experimental support for compiling and running native C from JavaScript

Bunのランタイムで実行時にC言語のソースコードをコンパイルして実行するらしい。コンパイラはTinyCC。WebAssemblyを使うより速いらしい。外部ライブラリのリンクもできる。
