Reviewer scorecard
“Zero JS by default with islands architecture is the right approach for content sites. Performance is incredible out of the box.”
“webpack compatibility with Rust speed. The migration path from webpack is smoother than switching to Vite or Turbopack.”
“For content sites, blogs, and marketing pages, nothing beats Astro's performance. The multi-framework support is practical.”
“For webpack-heavy projects, Rspack provides the biggest speed improvement with the least migration effort.”
“Content sites don't need SPAs. Astro proved that shipping less JavaScript is both possible and better.”
“Rust-based JS tooling replacing JavaScript tooling is the trend. Rspack, Biome, and SWC prove it works.”
