Nue 2.0 is a lightweight, all-in-one web development environment packed into a 1MB executable, built to deliver fast, standards-first website and app development using Bun as its runtime.

Why it matters: Nue dramatically reduces framework bloat by integrating focused tools with zero external dependencies for a lean developer experience.

The big picture: It embraces a modular UNIX-like philosophy, prioritizing standards compliance, edge-first backend, and smooth SPA development with URL-driven state management.

The stakes: Nue 2.0 drops Node support to stay lean and performant, which may hinder adoption for existing Node-based projects.

Commenters say: Enthusiasts praise its fresh approach and minimalism, while some worry about Bun-only support limiting compatibility and question the UNIX analogy.
