Nice! Will be curious to see some benchmarks vs https://github.com/parcel-bundler/parcel

Here's one datapoint, from building the single JS entrypoint for this simple demo site: https://exogen.github.io/layup/

First build:

    Parcel:    23.9s, 422K output size
    webpack 4:  9.6s, 399K output size

Rebuild (cached, no changes):

    Parcel:     900ms
    webpack 4: 1400ms

And we haven't implemented persistent caching and multithreading yet ;) just getting faster and faster.

Do you have experience with using parcel in production? How is it? On a previous project, our webpack bundle could take up to 20+ seconds - but we love the customizability that comes with webpack.

Parcel is awesome and works well in production. More often that not, a lot of configuration is not needed. It's nice to be able to just "parcel index.html" instead of 2 hours of configuration :)
