    swc-node is much faster. No typechecking but you can have that running as a separate process with typescript in watch mode. Basically never have to wait for compiles or typechecking checking then.

    I actually just switched my team's app over to use https://github.com/Brooooooklyn/swc-node for our Jest tests, but if we're going to upgrade to Next 12 it'd be nice to reuse whatever's included there.

    I actually upgraded my team's Jest config to use https://github.com/Brooooooklyn/swc-node a few weeks ago. However, our Jenkins CI agents run RHEL7, and neither of the Linux binary targets would run. The `x64-gnu` binary needed a `GLIBC_2_23` symbol when only 2.18 was available, and the `x64-musl` binary had no `musl-libc` on the machine. I don't own the Jenkins agents, so I couldn't install other deps myself.

    I ended up building `musl-libc` from source on another RHEL7 agent, committed the `.so` to our repo, and added that to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` in our Jenkinsfile, and actually got that working.

    I did see some mentions that Rust could build to target an older GLibc ( https://kobzol.github.io/rust/ci/2021/05/07/building-rust-bi... ), so I'm curious if Next is going to use copies of SWC built that way for better compat or if it will require more workarounds on my part.

    I'm very curious if the Next SWC binaries
