Nub – JavaScript toolkit that augments Node.js (instead of trying to replace it)

SMRTR summary

Nub is a new all-in-one TypeScript-first toolchain for Node.js that replaces tsx, ts-node, nvm, npm run, npx, and pnpm — all in a single Rust binary. It transpiles TypeScript in-memory via a native Rust addon, runs on stock Node, and adds zero lock-in. Script dispatch runs up to 30× faster than pnpm run, and package installs beat both pnpm and bun on warm runs.
