Rspack: The Rust-Fueled Bundling Breakthrough
summary
Two Rust bundlers get compared: Turbopack (Vercel) and Rspack (ByteDance). Turbopack uses an incremental computation engine plus sswc to cache function outputs and rebundle only changed files aiming for millisecond HMR, supports Next.js but is beta and currently lacks RSC and Webpack config support. Rspack is production-ready, Webpack config compatibility out of the box, framework-agnostic, fast HMR and TypeScript support; recommendation given: Vite remains the most mature alternative.
