Reviewer scorecard
“Remote caching and affected-only testing save enormous CI time. The project graph visualization is invaluable for large repos.”
“20x faster than Babel with full compatibility. Used by Next.js which validates production readiness.”
“If you have a monorepo with more than 5 projects, Nx pays for itself in CI time savings on day one.”
“Babel is effectively replaced. SWC's speed improvement is dramatic and the compatibility is excellent.”
“Monorepos are winning. Nx and Turborepo are making them practical at any scale.”
“SWC is the invisible engine powering modern JS tooling. Rust compilation speed enables new tool architectures.”
