Reviewer scorecard
“Component isolation done right. Independent versioning and testing per component is how design systems should work.”
“20x faster than Babel with full compatibility. Used by Next.js which validates production readiness.”
“The learning curve is steep and the tooling has rough edges. Storybook + npm packages achieve 80% of the value.”
“Babel is effectively replaced. SWC's speed improvement is dramatic and the compatibility is excellent.”
“Component discovery and documentation are excellent. Designers can browse and understand available components easily.”
“SWC is the invisible engine powering modern JS tooling. Rust compilation speed enables new tool architectures.”
