  Description     : A super-fast typescript / javascript compiler written in rust

swc is a typescript / javascript transpiler.
It consumes javascript or typescript file written in one version
of these languages and emits javascript code which can be executed
on javascript engines that are not yet supporting latest features.
.
It is an order a magnitude faster than similar projects written in
javascript.
.
It also provides spack, a full featured javascript modules bundler
that can do tree shaking among other things.

swc is a game changer for javascript development / deployment.
It can transpile, bundle, minify a large project in second(s).
It is now quite mature and usable.
