Why it's listed

Bun is listed in build tools & runtimes because it competes on utility: fast all-in-one js runtime & toolkit. It's VC-backed — we note this openly and watch the monetization path; the license and self-host route are the safeguards. Licensed MIT; pricing: free. Technically it's lean — it runs comfortably on modest hardware, which is exactly the proof-of-work efficiency we rank for. This entry is provisional — the scores are seeded estimates pending our full manual rubric pass, and the verification date will appear here once complete.
