Turbopack Rust Based Successor To Webpack
summary
Turbopack is a Rust-based successor to Webpack built around an incremental computation engine that records inputs and outputs so subsequent builds only re-run affected steps. It embeds SWC for transpilation — claimed 20x faster than Babel on one thread and 70x on four cores — and delivers much faster HMR, React Server Components support, and multi-target builds (browser, server, Edge, RSC). Vercel plans a shared remote cache. Turbopack is not Webpack-compatible; rspack offers Rust speed with out‑of‑the‑box Webpack compatibility.
