Do they mean O(1) with respect to a change? If you make a change, only one file is rebuilt. Not all of them.

Isn't this how most bundlers work? AFAIK, ParcelJS for example caches results and only updates what changed.

That's a good point. The webpack-dev-server also has incremental builds so I don't understand what this does differently.

I think the difference is that they don't create a bundle but import the files directly in the browser.
