The right answer is to support that developer and contribute to the project.
The VC answer is to build something entirely novel and then fail to deliver.
- sod 3y agoThey did exactly that. Just not esbuild. They sponser https://github.com/kdy1 https://github.com/kdy1 (see the vercel in his profile), who spearheads swc, which is very similar in goals and scope to esbuild. swc may ring a bell, as it's the parser/compiler that is used by deno and bun.
- risos 3y agoDeno uses swc, but Bun does not, it uses its own parser/transpiler written in zig. Source: check the language breakdown on zig's repo: 0% rust (what swc is written in).
