# Bun for Visual Studio Code



This extension adds support for using [Bun](https://bun.sh/) with Visual Studio Code. Bun is an all-in-one toolkit for JavaScript and TypeScript apps.
At its core is the _Bun runtime_, a fast JavaScript runtime designed as a drop-in replacement for Node.js. It's written in Zig and powered by JavaScriptCore under the hood, dramatically reducing startup times and memory usage.
