The Rust React Compiler is now native in Vite
The Rust-based React Compiler, integrated into Vite via @vitejs/plugin-react’s experimental support (or @acusti/vite-plugin-react-compiler), cut compilation time for a 1,036-file React Router project from 14.3 s with Babel to 0.81 s, a 2.4× speedup. Recent updates added support for conditional logic in try/catch, reassigned destructured props, and computed object property keys, increasing compatibility by seven functions, while still not handling throws inside try blocks or logical assignment operators.
