Rolldown is in RC, meaning no more breaking changes (except for experimental features). See https://voidzero.dev/posts/announcing-rolldown-rc

But to be fair, besides the usual patterns like tree-shaking and DCE, "runtime performance" is really tricky to measure or optimize for

* You need have a clean architecture, so starting "almost from scratch" * Knowledge about performance (for Rust and for build tools in general) is necessary * Enough reason to do so, lack of perf in competition and users feeling friction * Time and money (still have to pay bills, right?)

Not really (see above).

> You'll need to keep all the best benefits of your work for the Plus users or else there would be no reason to buy Plus and no way to keep paying the few to do all the work for the many.

No, won't happen that way.

> You're stuck telling people what they can't have (and shouldn't want) while I'm now in a position to just give people what they want.

Didn't see any software of yours yet, only big talk so far sadly! Besides that, VoidZero will also be in a position to just give people what they want

Type-aware rule are indeed not marked as stable but work like a charm. tsgolint is indeed tsgo + shims + some works, but that won't change soon as tsgo won't have a JS API for a while.

2) With AI, languages and syntax matters even less nowadays.

3) There have been a good amount of contributors (e.g. for Oxc) that came out the JS world, so it isn't impossible

4) Realistically, the avg. web dev does not contribute to tooling internals, maximum custom rules or similar. The concepts are a bigger "hurdle" than the lang.

Oxlint does support core rules out of the box but has support for JS plugins[0] as mentioned. If you don't rely on a custom parser (so svelte or vue component for example) things just work. Even react compiler rules[1].

* Rolldown is compatible to Rollup's API and can use most Rollup plugins

* Oxlint supports JS plugins and is ESLint compatibel (can run ESLint rules easily)

* Oxfmt plans to support Prettier plugins, in turn using the power of the ecosystem

* and so on...

So you get better performance and can still work with your favorite plugins and extend tools "as before".

Regarding the "mix of technology" or tooling fatigue: I get that. We have to install a lot of tools, even for a simple application. This is where Vite+[0] will shine, bringing the modern and powerful tools together, making them even easier to adopt and reducing the divide in the ecosystem.
