Show HN: Nub – A Bun-like all-in-one toolkit for Node.js

Nub

A fast all-in-one toolkit that augments Node.js instead of replacing it

A Bun-like DX on top of stock node , written in Rust.

nub index.ts # TypeScript-first Node.js runtime nub run dev # 24× faster pnpm run nubx prisma generate # 19× faster npx nub install # 2.5× faster pnpm install nub watch src/server.ts # native watch mode nub pm shim # built-in Corepack-style shims nub node install 26 # Node version manager nub upgrade # self update

One tool to run your files and scripts, install dependencies, and manage Node itself. No new runtime, no vendor-specific API surface, no lock-in.
