  • Webdev is the pinnacle of over engineering. And now with AI, it will get even worse. I think the web truly needs a reset.
  • rewrite it in rust might be a joke -- but damn most the massive improvements in dynamic language toolchains have come from the toolchains being rewritten in rust - Python, JS
  • Does this work with reacts fancy new compiler that is meant to optimize away various hooks?
  • What's a react compiler? Not JS or TS?
  • OXC Transformers are amazingly faster than Babel. I'm building a framework (https://github.com/vmsp/flypath) for web, iOS and Android native development that's fully backed by OXC and Vite. Instead of transforming styles using Babel like StyleX, I just use OXC. Instead of Metro (React Native's bundler), which also uses Babel, it's just Vite. It's still very early but it's plenty, plenty fast.

  • No more babel in my compilation pipeline, yay!

  • Eventually we will be back to pre-node days, when compiled languages were the majority for JS tooling (C, C++, Java, C#,...), the yin yang of cool technology cycles.
