Could bun run in the browser?

[NateRadebaugh]

I've noticed from performance testing some of my methods using bun vs vitest and wondering, is there any feasible solution for replacing v8 in browser with bun instead? I suppose it'd be a WASM or web worker sort of solution, or would be up to frameworks to support that sort of thing.

Wondering if anyone else has thoughts

I would love to see something like a Web Container but for Bun.

If bun could be compiled to wasm, then Web Container/StackBlitz, CodeSandbox would be easier to implement in Web.

Bumping this, this would be awesome!

I would love to get an opinion on this by someone who knows the codebase and the applicability of, for example, compiling bun to webassembly.

Node-js compatible web runtimes like Webcontainers and Nodebox are awesome and with recent investments into tools like bolt.new (They just raised over $100M) it's clear to see that they have usecases. However, both tools are closed-source or at least not usable for production environments, and with bun being the expert in developing Nodejs-compatible APIs, I strongly feel that a first class supported js runtime that executes in the web would be a massive selling point for bun. I would love to contribute on this, but this would probably be a serious effort.
