Nub wraps Node.js instead of replacing it, sidestepping Bun's compatibility friction
A new open-source toolkit published 24 June consolidates Node version management, package installation, and script execution into a single Rust binary. Unlike Bun, which substitutes its own runtime, Nub manages the existing Node.js installation. This architectural choice preserves compatibility with native addons and V8-specific dependencies—the friction point that has historically slowed Bun adoption among teams locked into Node internals.
