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.

Show HN: JSX in Browser with Sucrase
Thanks. As for the code compilation, that can be tested and seen in https://sucrase.io/
The demo page is only to show how we can transpile JSX in browsers.

Created a simple online JavaScript Playground, it's a place for you to try out your code and ideas.
Thanks u/OutlandishnessKey953, the playground built with React, Docusaurus(https://docusaurus.io/), CodeMirror(https://codemirror.net/), Sucrase(https://sucrase.io/), etc.

The TypeScript compiler is now implemented internally with modules
Hi, Sucrase author here.
To be clear, the benchmark in the README does not allow JIT warm-up. The Sucrase numbers would be better if it did. From testing just now (add `warmUp: true` to `benchmarkJest`), Sucrase is a little over 3x faster than swc if you allow warm-up, but it seemed unfair to disregard warm-up for the comparison in the README.
It's certainly fair to debate whether 360k lines of code is a realistic codebase size for the benchmark; the higher-scale the test case, the better Sucrase looks.
> worse it disables esbuild and swc's multi-threading
At some point I'm hoping to update the README benchmark to run all tools in parallel, which should be more convincing despite the added variability: https://github.com/alangpierce/sucrase/issues/730 . In an ideal environment, the results are pretty much the same as a per-core benchmark, but I do expect that Node's parallelism overhead and the JIT warm-up cost across many cores would make Sucrase less competitive than the current numbers.

Should i switch to Typescript?
First, npm i -D sucrase to install sucrase. Now you can do node -r sucrase/register ./index.ts to run TypeScript code directly with Node.

🚀 Building your own Javascript Library with bare minimum
As you might know there are a lot of Javascript bundlers out there, such as webpack, sucrase, parcel, rollup and etc. Bear in mind, not because they have thousands of stars on Github that means they're the best. sometimes new libs are as good as the popular ones but they're still building up their image/popularity in the community. what I bring today is a not sooooo, popular JS bundler called esbuild.

Five coding interview questions I hate
Sucrase JS was 2x the speed of esBuild and 50% faster than SWC last I checked.

I’m Porting the TypeScript Type Checker Tsc to Go
Webpack does way more than esbuild, including running a typechecking compiler instead of just transpiling, running compilers able to downlevel emit to ES5 and providing a deep plugin architecture allowing you to hook into any bit you like. But yes, it hasn't been designed with speed in mind - it has been designed with maximum extensibility instead. Its the same reason why Babel is slow compared to sucrase (written in JS, currently faster than SWC and esbuild but doing somewhat less - https://github.com/alangpierce/sucrase)
tsc has in fact been designed with speed in mind (I've been following the project since before it ended up on GitHub). Going beyond 1 order of magnitude performance improvement is highly unlikely.

Use Notion as your CMS along with Next.js
During my search for deploying Lambdas via GitHub actions, I came across a tutorial that utilized ncc for converting TypeScript and bundling. While ncc is effective, I discovered esbuild, which proved to be significantly faster and perfectly suited to my requirements.

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.

How to run TypeScript natively in Node.js with TSX
TSX is the newest and most improved version of our ts-node, using ESBuild to transpile TS files to JS very quickly. The most interesting part is that TSX was developed to be a complete replacement for Node, so you can actually use TSX as a TypeScript REPL, if you install it globally with npm i -g tsx, just run tsx in your terminal and you can write TSX natively. But what's even cooler is that you can load TSX for all TypeScript files using --loader tsx when you run your file. For example, let's say we have this file called index.ts:

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.
What are some alternatives?
swc - Rust-based platform for the Web
ts-node - TypeScript execution and REPL for node.js
vite - Next generation frontend tooling. It's fast!
fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin - Webpack plugin that runs typescript type checker on a separate process.
Rollup - Next-generation ES module bundler
swc-node - Faster ts-node without typecheck
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.
