Bun AOT Merge Nears Release

Bun AOT could make JavaScript deployment feel substantially closer to native binaries, but experimental compatibility—not benchmark headlines—is the real release hurdle.

• –Eliminates runtime JIT compilation and reduces startup overhead.
• –TypeScript-aware compilation can optimize object layouts and property access.
• –Official benchmarks show lower memory use, but throughput varies by framework and typing quality.
• –Dynamic code generation, untyped dependencies, WebAssembly, and cross-platform builds remain important limitations.
• –Fuzzing is essential because compiler miscompilations are far more serious than ordinary runtime bugs.
