Bun Adds Rust-Based React Compiler For 19x Faster Builds

It runs the same test suite as the upstream react compiler version with tests for flow type and meta’s intl library skipped

I did spend some time making it faster for bun’s usecase

@jarredsumner How does it compare to esbuild ?

@jarredsumner at this point, the blog post of bun rewrite has become a joke. no matter what jarred posts everyone just wants a blog post

@jarredsumner How much does the binary size increase?

@MeirBlachman This codebase doesn’t use it but bun’s bundler plugins snd esbuild’s plugins work similarly and afaik esbuild doesn’t have a react compiler builtin so it probably is the same as the Babel version

@jarredsumner Is writing the promised Blog a joke to you? Concentrate please.

@jarredsumner Congrats, but where is the blog article and the comparison btw Zig and Rust?

@jarredsumner bun build --when-blog

@typosquattage React is 13 years old and still wildly popular. React-specific flags for React-specific functionality is fine.

@jarredsumner So, on what day will the next Bun be officially released?

@jarredsumner In the next version of Bun I tend to use Node again.

@jarredsumner Sounded like a joke but we might actually have GTA 6 before the blog post

@jarredsumner @timneutkens can i use this in next.js?

@jarredsumner What are these numbers at this point man, I swear to God, every time there's another "In the next version of Bun" post you guys do something insane. Great work guys!!!

@jarredsumner oh finally

@jarredsumner please also improve exisiting features and fix issues

@jarredsumner i dare you to rewrite bun to jai zig -> rust -> jai

@jarredsumner How about integrating rust flow type into Bun?
