What is Nub? The Rust toolkit making Node.js 20x faster
SMRTR summary
Nub is a Rust-based CLI toolchain that sits on top of Node.js, consolidating version management, script execution, package installation, and TypeScript execution into one binary — without requiring a runtime migration. It targets teams who want Bun-like developer experience but can't risk leaving Node.js due to cloud platform compatibility. Benchmarks show real but mixed results: ~3x faster for script runner overhead, slower for TypeScript execution.
