esbuild is written in Go, not Rust. But the reason all these things exist is speed. How long do you want to wait to find out if your build succeeded? 5 minutes or 5 seconds?

Most of what you listed are bundlers, and they exist because they go faster. You probably won't gain much in a small project, but when tsc starts taking 5 to 10 minutes to build - that's a good time to shop around.

5 minutes? Jesus I wouldn't wait that long when there's a simple way to make your build 10x faster.

They’re fast.
