Why is Rust being used to replace parts of the JavaScript web ecosystem like minification (Terser), transpilation (Babel), formatting (Prettier), bundling (webpack), linting (ESLint), and more?
Well I see huge benefits in building the tools used by a community with the technology this community masters. IMO the Python’s stdlib sucks because it’s written in C which is a huge barrier to entry.
Honestly those usecases described here shouldn’t have been done in js in the first place.

It’s as though we’d rather put 100x more effort for 10% of the results just to prove that we “can” do it.
