Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Rolldown
Doesn't Rollup already use quite a bit of rust[0]? It's actually why I had to abandon it for a project, where they didn't offer binaries for our build platform and I needed to bundle, like 2 ES6 javascript libraries so I just grabbed esbuild instead.

Build a Vite 5 backend integration with Flask
Unlike Webpack, the Vite DevServer only compiles files when they are requested. It leverages ES module imports, which allow JS files to import other files without needing to bundle them together during development. When one file changes, only that file needs to be re-compiled, and the rest can remain unchanged. Project files are compiled with Rollup.js. Third-party dependencies in node_modules are pre-compiled using the ultra-fast esbuild bundler for maximum speed, and they are cached until the dependency version changes. Vite also provides a client script for hot module reloading.

11 Ways to Optimize Your Website
Besides Webpack, there are many other popular web bundlers available, such as Parcel, Esbuild, Rollup, and more. They all have their own unique features and strengths, and you should make your decision based on the needs and requirements of your specific project. Please refer to their official websites for details.

How to rewrite classes using closures in JavaScript
The optimization points are very valid and good to keep in mind, no?
See for example:
https://github.com/rollup/rollup/issues/349
The missing minification of identifiers and properties of the Vue instance in general were always bugging me in Vue 2, even when not using the class keyword.
This is a very valid consideration IMO.

Bun vs Node.js: Everything you need to know
In the Node.js ecosystem, bundling is typically handled by third-party tools rather than Node.js itself. Some of the most popular bundlers in the Node.js world include Webpack, Rollup, and Parcel, offering features like code splitting, tree shaking, and hot module replacement.

Rollup is another popular JavaScript module bundler focusing on high performance. It excels at tree-shaking and uses ES module syntax to generate more performant bundles than traditional module bundlers. In addition to JavaScript, Rollup supports bundling CSS and JSON as well. Rollup has more than 12 million weekly NPM downloads.

How to build and publish React TypeScript NPM packages with Vite
Vite (read as vit) is actually a combination of two great frontend tools - an immensely fast development server and a build command for shipping heavily optimized static assets using Rollup. Many developers have encountered the process of setting up a project using Create React App. While CRA can be useful for beginners due to its simplicity and abstraction of configuration, it has some drawbacks that outweigh its benefits, particularly its tendency to be bloated. Don't get me wrong, Vite is opinionated as well, but it's highly extensible through its Plugin API.

Obfuscating your create react app and routes
During my intial search i came across some outdated libraries like javascript-obfuscator and uglify-js(as if javascript code can get any uglier, am I right?). Then, I stumbled upon Terser, a modern library that supports ES6.

10 Bad Habits That Can Slow Down Your JavaScript Applications 🐌
Example: You've got a main.js file that's as long as a Tolstoy novel. Fix: Use tools like UglifyJS or Terser to minify your code. They'll squeeze out all the unnecessary bits and give you a sleeker, faster-loading file.

Overview of the next-gen frontend dev tools
There are many minifiers such as terser and uglify. But, because minifying also require to parse the JS, it is actually possible to use esbuild and SWC to minify the code. Here's a benchmark of the main minifiers.

Rollup Library Starter
This next one will help us reduce final bundle size by minifying the generated code. It's called rollup-plugin-terser and uses terser under the hood to minify the code.
What are some alternatives?
esbuild - An extremely fast bundler for the web
vite - Next generation frontend tooling. It's fast!
tsup - The simplest and fastest way to bundle your TypeScript libraries.
UglifyJS2 - JavaScript parser / mangler / compressor / beautifier toolkit
webpack - A bundler for javascript and friends. Packs many modules into a few bundled assets. Code Splitting allows for loading parts of the application on demand. Through "loaders", modules can be CommonJs, AMD, ES6 modules, CSS, Images, JSON, Coffeescript, LESS, ... and your custom stuff.
closure-compiler - A JavaScript checker and optimizer.
gulp - A toolkit to automate & enhance your workflow
Sass - Sass makes CSS fun!
