I can confirm that esbuild is very fast - easily bundling my code a hundred times faster than webpack or rollup. And the minified esbuild bundles are only around 10% larger than what is produced by the JS-based bundlers. Considering it saves 30 seconds per build, this is more than an acceptable tradeoff.
It's good that this tool is shaking up the JS development ecosystem. It was getting stagnant (babel) and overly complicated (webpack). We can probably expect more tooling to migrate to golang and rust. I think the esbuild author accomplished his goal.
