BunNativeKit

Early work in progress. Don't expect anything to work (how you want it to at least).

BunNativeKit (bnk) is a little research project i started to do a bunch of funny "nonsense" and "neat" things to- uh i mean WITH* bun :D

Essentially a TLDR of BNK would be my funny attempt at working with native code in Bun, but wrapping it up in a nice DX box :D

it is not currently classifiable as JIT - but, im working on things under the hood to get closer to that goal. But the API signature will stay roughly the same.

Write inline Zig, C, C++, or Rust right in your TypeScript and have it Just Work™. The JIT compiler handles all the compilation, caching (both memory and disk!), and FFI symbol parsing automagically. Need production builds? AOT mode has you covered with cross-platform compilation and TypeScript declaration generation. Oh and it'll even install Zig for you if you don't have it <3

import { jit } from "@bunnativekit/jit";
// <lang>.jit() expects a main function. currently it will run main, though this will be configurable in the future.
const result = await jit.zig(`
  export fn main(a: i32, b: i32) i32 {
    return a + b;
  }
`, 6, 7); // => 13

Give bunnativekit.xwx.gg a look for more nonsense + deeper dive into what bnk is, why/what/huh???- and a api ref (bnk.xwx.gg also works dw <3)
