Farm

Super fast web build engine written in rust. yet another performant alternative besides webpack/vite

	Webpack	Vite	Farm	Compare
cold start	853ms	276ms	67ms	Farm is faster: 12x webpack，4x vite
HMR	43ms	23ms	2ms	Farm is faster: 20x webpack，10x vite
onload	83ms	310ms	57ms	Farm is faster: 5x vite
accessible time	936ms	586ms	124ms	Farm is faster: 8x webpack，5x vite

Test Machine（Linux Mint 21.1 Cinnamon， 11th Gen Intel© Core™ i5-11400 @ 2.60GHz × 6， 15.5 GiB）

Features:

🔥 Super Fast: Start a react / vue(incoming) project in milliseconds.
⚡ "1ms" HMR: Finish a HMR within 10ms for the most situations.
🧰 Fully Pluggable: Support both rust plugins and js plugins.
⚙️ Native Web Assets Compiling Supported: Support support compiling JS/TS/JSX/TSX, css, html natively.

Note:

See RFC-001 for design motivation and principle.

This project is still under development. Contributions are welcome.

This project is built on SWC Project, using swc for html/css/js/tsx/ts/jsx parsing, transforming, optimizing and codegen.

Getting Started
