    Super-fast alternative to Babel for when you can target modern JS runtimes

  • Project README is over at https://github.com/alangpierce/sucrase#readme but I do think the tweet makes an important great point about language choices vs algorithm design. We don't need to rewrite everything in Go to make it usable!

  • can confirm that those are not just useless benchmark numbers, those are accurate for a LARGE typescript project as well (https://github.com/parabolinc/parabol). Been happily using this in production for 2-3 years. When new syntax came out, like optional chaining, the package added support for it _very_ quickly.
