Is a React Native app with Bun runtime possible?

Question

Bun performance is great compared with Node.js.

It allows to run a React app. Is it also possible to run a React Native app with the Bun runtime?

Answer 1

Just install Bun and run bun run start assuming you have the start script in package.json pointing to react-native start.

But I can't see the benefit of running React Native over Bun as Bun will not be compiled into native (run on device).

If you're looking for better performance running your jsbundle, just use Hermes.
