for me these kinds of tools are only as good as the time spent debugging when something goes awry. as such, the biggest risk i see is that it isn't built in javascript. i simply don't see myself debugging rust while trying to compile javascript. i really don't.
this being said, i do wish this project (and any others like it) great success. we definitely do need something faster when compiling js.
(this tool reminds me of a similar project for a small client. they required a fast js compiler. the project was a failure because no-one wanted to debug non-js code when the build failed)

- sam0x17 8y agoThis is why I'd really like to see some projects that compile to readable js when not in production mode. Throw in some auto-generated comments above every method that tell you the file and line number in the Rust/Go/Crystal/Whatever code that this comes from, and debugging will be fairly easy.
