Bun — A fast all-in-one JavaScript runtime

Bundle, install, and run JavaScript & TypeScript — all in Bun. Bun is a new JavaScript runtime with a native bundler, transpiler, task runner, and npm client built-in.

Bun is based on JavaScriptCore, with a number of niceties built-in. It's written in Zig, so perhaps it's possible?

I've been doing some reading on the subject and found what I think are some related topics, but some of this is over my head ATM:
