135: Bun is Back in the Oven
Episode 135
Monday, 9 March, 2026
This week's a non-AI episode!It’s been a minute since we last discussed Bun, but the team is back with a new release. In v1.3.10, the REPL’s completely rewritten in Zig, barrel imports are optimized, and the JavaScriptCore engine got upgraded for big perf gains.Npmx, a fast, modern browser for the npm registry has reached alpha version in less than 2 months of existence. Its goal is to make it easy for devs to find, evaluate, and manage npm packages, and boasts cool features like the ability to compare packages and even launch demo environments directly from package READMEs. Solid 2.0.0 jumped straight from experimental to beta this week, and it introduces changes like: async is first-class, derived state is a primitive, dev guardrails to prevent foot guns, and a DOM cleanup model.Timestamps:2:04 - Bun v1.3.108:39 - npmx13:03 - Solid 2.0 beta22:42 - PlanetScale bought Drizzle ORM23:46 - Safari is getting customizable <select>s27:26 - Fire starter30:15 - What’s making us happyNews:Paige - npmxJack - Solid 2.0 betaTJ - Bun v1.3.10Lightning News: Safari is getting customizable <select>sPlanetScale bought Drizzle ORMFire Starter:Navigation API is baseline availableWhat Makes Us Happy this Week:Paige - Kytin Parasole shoesJack - ImmichTJ - Stratechery’s coverage of the Anthropic v.
