🏃 JavaScript Runtimes

A JavaScript Runtime is an environment that allows you to run JavaScript code and includes the necessary components for JavaScript code execution.

The main JavaScript runtimes are:

• Node.js: the most well-known server-side JavaScript runtime
• 🦕 Deno
• Bun

Each runtime has its ecosystem, but some runtimes provide cross-ecosystem support (e.g., npm packages in Deno).
