+
+## What it is
+
+Bun runs JavaScript and TypeScript, like Node.js, and also installs packages, bundles code and runs tests, all from one binary. It aims to work as a drop-in replacement for Node.js in most projects, and runs TypeScript files directly without a separate build step.
+
+## Why it's here
+
+- **Fast installs.** `bun install` reads `package.json` and installs dependencies much faster than npm.
+- **TypeScript without setup.** `bun run file.ts` just works.
+- **Fewer tools.** Runtime, package manager, bundler and test runner in one.
+
+## On CoreDesktop
+
+Bun is installed from pacman, alongside Node.js, so you can use either per project. `update` keeps it current with the rest of the pacman packages.
+
+```
+bun run index.ts
+```
