VoidZero: Building a Unified Toolchain for JavaScript
voidzero.devCongratulations! This looks like a big accomplishment.
TBH, I don't know how to feel about getting involved with VC money. But I acknowledge, oxc and roll down require big investments and donations isn't a reliable source of income
Is it only about speed of the toolchain? I mean, speed is very much needed but is there any other benefits for end users?
> On top of our open-source projects, we will offer an end-to-end JavaScript tooling solution specifically designed to meet the scale and security requirements of enterprise environments.
I'm wondering what it will mean. Will there be a paying, closed source 'end-to-end' toolchain?
I think it's one of those things where the fragmented toolset itself holds back faster evolution of the ecosystem.
When Tool A doesn't play nicely with Tool B, teams end up wasting cycles.
Ideally, in a unified toolchain, everything plays nicely and the whole ecosystem evolves faster, more stably.
From the wording, it looks there would be some closed source tooling. But not sure what or how it will integrate
Never understood why there are so many Rust-based JS tools like Rsbuild, Oxc, SWC, Rolldown. They all seem identical.
My only possible reaction:
