Reviewer scorecard
“CI/CD in the same place as your code. The marketplace has an action for everything. Matrix builds are powerful.”
“20x faster than Babel with full compatibility. Used by Next.js which validates production readiness.”
“YAML debugging is painful but the GitHub integration and free tier for open source make it the default choice.”
“Babel is effectively replaced. SWC's speed improvement is dramatic and the compatibility is excellent.”
“CI/CD integrated with the code platform is the right architecture. GitHub Actions is becoming the standard.”
“SWC is the invisible engine powering modern JS tooling. Rust compilation speed enables new tool architectures.”
