Thanks for the feedback! 1. We decided to start simple for the first release but it’s definitely possible to add something like asChild if the need arises. There are some tradeoffs…

If you have a trigger inside a nested scrollable region, and the popover pops out of this region, then if the trigger is scrolled out of view the popover cannot be anchored to it a…

This was an intentional choice. Repositioning when an outer element scrolls is pretty janky in some cases because scroll events don’t fire at 60fps. Also it’s not possible at all i…

In Parcel 2, you can configure everything.

Parcel 2 solved this though. You can override pretty much everything if you want now.

We actually already have! I contributed hwb() color support as part of my work on Parcel CSS, and it shipped in Firefox 96! https://github.com/servo/rust-cssparser/commit/62d63fea7…

Yes, there is a WASM build used by the demo: https://parcel-css.vercel.app Not sure if we could reuse these packages though, since we'd need to expose an API from Rust to JS anyway…

Hi, author of Parcel CSS here. I have been thinking about implementing the CSS OM spec as the JS API. This is the same API that browsers expose for manipulating stylesheets. The ad…

I work on React Aria. Adobe is a big company and there are many teams using different technologies. In general, some very new parts of creative cloud chose to use web components, b…

Haha yes it is. We have to do a ton of manual testing to ensure consistency and compatibility across many devices, browsers, and screen readers. Some of my tweets showing how we do…

Yeah ComboBox is one of the most difficult. We wrote a post about the work that went into ours. https://react-spectrum.adobe.com/blog/building-a-combobox.ht...

If you want a bundler built using SWC as a base today, check out Parcel: https://parceljs.org

And Parcel: https://parceljs.org

Next.js still uses webpack. They basically replaced Babel with SWC.

I commented elsewhere in this thread but that benchmark is really measuring the performance of Terser, which is used by all of the other tools listed there. Parcel has improved som…

esbuild tends to produce larger bundles due to https://github.com/evanw/esbuild/issues/639 . Looks like there was recent activity though, so we need to re-test. Anyway, there's a p…

In v2, there is no transpilation unless you add a browserslist config.

Note that this benchmark is dominated by Terser for minification. All tools aside from ESBuild use it.

This was true in Parcel 1, but v2’s plugin system is just as powerful as webpack’s. v2 is all about adding extensibility and control.

Parcel 2 does both: it is useful out of the box, and many projects will never need to configure it, but v2 adds a complete plugin system that lets you override and configure everyt…

Note that Parcel’s plugin system is completely different in v2 and the implicit loading is gone.

We will have a WASM build, yes. Mainly for running in the browser or on platforms we don't build for. In our tests so far, it is significantly slower though (e.g. ~30%) so it's a t…

I started prototyping a @parcel/jest preset and a @parcel/register package that would help with this. Basically it would use Parcel for builds when using other tools like testing f…

I am paid to work on react-aria/spectrum. Parcel is a side project.

Yep, this is true. In fact, we already improved performance by over 25x by optimizing algorithms in JavaScript. As covered in the blog post, this rewrite was motivated by more than…
