How does it compare to esbuild or swc? Its good we have alternatives, and im still mentally scarred from the javascript ecosystem, where almost everything is slow and buggy. But when you compare to an already native tool (like esbuild) you start getting diminishing returns.

This supports all kinds of non-platform-standard features that may tie your project to this specific bundler, but will tie them to bundlers in general.

It would be much better to have projects that work without bundlers, that can use them as an optimization step.

Rspack (ByteDance) just shipped 1.0. There's Farm too. This is from Ant Group. Major influx of build tools all built in Rust, made in China.

Turbopack is supposed to be coming, as a total rebuild of bundling. Rolldown seems solid, as a Rust roll-up redo.

As soon as the browser specs catch up to what the bundlers are doing I’d drop them in a heartbeat. Not holding my breath though

they need to create new tracks for promotions and KPI, recreating a wheel in rust will achieve just that. It's referred to as technology investment, but it's really speculation.
