I've seen it happen enough times where a significant amount of complexity can be removed altogether by addressing a problem at the root in a fundamentally different way. Thousands upon thousands of lines of code can just disappear[1]. I have seen firsthand how complex Babel is, and I'm also skeptical about anything that claims it could replace Babel. But I also looked at Rome's parser and it's not trivially small, and the README says it's made by the same people who made Babel. So I have good reason to believe this is probably a serious restart with justifiable properties.
