Unless you live under a rock, you must have heard about the recent release of Bun 1.0. For those of you who somehow missed that announcement, Bun is a fast, all-in-one toolkit for running, building, testing, and debugging JavaScript and TypeScript, from a single file to a full-stack application - and as of September 8, it’s finally stable and production-ready.

Much like the rest of the community, we’re pretty excited about the release and Bun in general - and we’re even more excited to have the brain behind it all, Jarred Sumner, as our next Coffee Talk guest.
