  • You're lucky, I also wrote one.

  • esbuild

    An extremely fast bundler for the web

  • But then you see stuff like ESBuild, where the Evan Wallace (the author) tried to write in both Rust and Go, and his Go version was faster. According to him, this was probably because Go runs destructors in a parallel thread, whereas Rust runs them in the same thread (source), among other factors. The same performance could theoretically be achieved in Rust, but it would demand a lot more effort.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
