ESBuild is probably more popular than all the other non-JS JS dev tools combined, and (as the blog post even mentions, despite the title and main thesis) it's not written in Rust.
- nine_k 4y agoI don't see a contradiction. Were ESBuild already written in Rust, Rust would be the present of JS infrastructure. The author hopes it merely to be the future.

Currently ESBuild has 5x as many npm installs as Rome and SWC combined, and the gap doesn't seem to be shrinking https://npmtrends.com/@swc/core-vs-esbuild-vs-rome https://npmtrends.com/@swc/core-vs-esbuild-vs-rome

- acemarke 4y agoFWIW, that doesn't take into account that Next actually has its own wrapper around SWC, and also vendors it. I think it's probably the largest consumer of SWC: - https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/packages/next-swc https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/packages/next-...
