♨️ Be a Bunny with Bun 1.0, A NodeJs Replacer
Finally, Bun has released version 1.0 and is ready for production. FYI, Bun is a fast, all-in-one toolkit for running, building, testing, and debugging JavaScript and TypeScript, from a single file to a full-stack application. Now, Bun is stable and production-ready.
You can install it via Curl or NPM. (For other options, see the source given below).
Bun is a drop-in replacement for Node.js, so you don’t need:
nodenpx—bunxis 5x fasternodemon— Bun has a built-in watch mode!dotenv,cross-env— Bun reads.envfiles by default
This does ease out a lot of things for the Javascript ecosystem. I will try switching to Bun from NodeJs for my web app Qramaank.com and ToolBox with Bun.js.

🔥 MOJO is Now Available Locally
Since the launch of Mojo back in May, it has been available as a playground for limited users. Mojo is now available for local download – beginning with Linux systems, and adding Mac and Windows in coming releases. Along with SDK toolkits such as Mojo Driver (for REPL), VS Code Extension, and Jupytor Kernel.
While the Mojo Playground provides an easy hosted introduction to the language, the local Mojo toolchain empowers developers to accomplish much more. Local developer tools provide access to the full power of Mojo, including a full set of compiler features and IDE tools that make it easy to build and iterate on Mojo applications.
Mojo is a new programming language for AI developers that will grow into a superset of Python over time. It already supports integrating with arbitrary Python code seamlessly and has a scalable programming model to target performance-critical systems, including accelerators (e.g. GPUs) that are pervasive in AI.

☕️ Java 21 is Getting Closer to the Finish Line 🏁
Java 21 General Availability date is a little over a week from now, on 19th September to be precise. The changes are set in stoned and release candidates are heading out. As a Java developer, I am totally excited about the GA of JDK 21.
There are numerous changes and additions to Java 21, a few being moved to the next stages of preview or incubation. Virtual thread, in my opinion, would be the Top highlight of the features Java 21 is bringing. Record Pattern would be the game changer. And I have already talked about the Switch being on steroids in my previous post “Java Switch Statement is now more Powerful“. Now Pattern Matching with Switch would take it up one step further.
I will surely write more about them in brief and individually, so keep visiting CodersTea 💪

🏃♂️ AWS Lambda Deprecates Go Runtime
AWS Lambda is deprecating the go1.x runtime, announcing support for Go exclusively in the Amazon Linux 2 runtime. The announcement and the need to migrate by the end of the year to the custom provided.al2 runtime raised concerns in the Go community.
To mitigate the impact on developers, the announcement describes how to migrate functions from the go1.x runtime to the provided.al2 runtime and how to make configuration changes to build scripts or CI/CD configurations.

🍎 Apple Event 2023 Today
Well, not developer news, but hey, why not? Today Apple will have its annual event, where they may showcase the iPhone 15 with USB-C, the Apple Watch Series 9, and maybe some new AirPods. This will be streamed live on YouTube I guess. There are a lot of Apple fans, who eagerly wait for this. No, I am not one of them, I am a little tight on budget
Anyhow, it would be fun to see the latest from Apple.
