Sure, and Rust is the most used language for modern TS/JS tooling, outside of TS/JS. There would have been substantial ecosystem benefits had Rust been chosen.

Do you have a source for that?

Because esbuild is Go. tac was TypeScript and will be Go. Bun is Zig.

Come to think of it. I don't use a single Rust tool for the web. node is c++. deno breaks too much.

So, do you have a source for your claim?

Transpilers: SWC, Oxc Linters/Formatters: DPrint, deno lint, Biome, Oxlint, Oxfmt Bundlers: Rolldown (replacing esbuild in Vite), Rspack, Turbopack, and certain components of Parcel

All built with Rust
