Esbuild

Open-source JavaScript module bundler written in Go From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

esbuild is a free and open-source module bundler and minifier for JavaScript and CSS[2] written by Evan Wallace.[3][4] Written in Go instead of JavaScript, esbuild claims that at the time it was released, it was "10 to 100 times" faster than other bundlers by using parallelism and shared memory usage.[5][6][7][8] It supports TypeScript, JSX, tree-shaking and is extensible through plugins.
