Our current build tools for the web are 10-100x slower than they could be:

The main goal of the esbuild bundler project is to bring about a new era of build tool performance, and create an easy-to-use modern bundler along the way.

Major features:

• Extreme speed without needing a cache
• JavaScript, CSS, TypeScript, and JSX built-in
• A straightforward API for CLI, JS, and Go
• Bundles ESM and CommonJS modules
• Bundles CSS including CSS modules
• Tree shaking, minification, and source maps
• Local server, watch mode, and plugins
