  • swc

    Rust-based platform for the Web

    I love seeing more and more of the frontend tooling space migrating to Rust. Next.js recently moved their TypeScript compiler to swc , which Parcel is also using. Parcel also has a source maps library written in Rust. The Rome Toolchain is being rewritten in Rust. And I strongly suspect there are at least a couple other large scale Rust-for-the-frontend projects being built at FAANG-scale companies :)

  • source-map

    A fast source map manipulation, generation and consumption library written in Rust and Node.js (by parcel-bundler)

  • InfluxDB

    Collect and Analyze Billions of Data Points in Real Time. Manage all types of time series data in a single, purpose-built database. Run at any scale in any environment in the cloud, on-premises, or at the edge.

    Unified developer tools for JavaScript, TypeScript, and the web

  • langs-in-rust

    A list of programming languages implemented in Rust, for inspiration.

    Parcel has been added to my list of languages implemented in Rust! It's currently the only CSS implementation listed there.

  • theforce

    A Star Wars themed programming language

    I added my nonsense Star Wars language to their list, so absolutely anything in Rust lol

  • fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin

    Webpack plugin that runs typescript type checker on a separate process.

    I work on a TypeScript project of similar size and complexity, and ours does not take even nearly that long to compile on save. Have you tried fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin? We had compile times similar to yours until we started using it. Went from >60s to <1s builds in development. It's very simple to set up.
