I built Brahma-JS to bridge the gap between Rust's performance and the ease of JavaScript. It's an ultra-low latency runtime written in Rust on top of Tokio and Hyper.

The idea is to give developers a way to get Rust's speed and memory safety without having to rewrite their application logic. It's a plug-and-play engine that works across Node, Deno, and Bun.

All the heavy lifting—like parsing request bodies and headers—happens in Rust. The benchmarks are promising: on a tiny AWS t2.micro instance, I hit 33.2k requests per second during a load test.

I haven't shared the full codebase yet but will soon. You can find the repo here:
