esbuild-loader

I wonder how this compares to a proper manual Webpack configuration. Comparing it to CRA isn't really helpful to me, as CRA is already known to be very slow. I would consider trying it if it has significant performance benefits over a manual Webpack config, especially one making use of esbuild-loader (https://github.com/privatenumber/esbuild-loader)

For people already on webpack, there's esbuild-loader (https://github.com/privatenumber/esbuild-loader)

esbuild has flipped the JS community on its head. Not only as an impressive JS bundler, but through all the next gen tooling esbuild is powering. For example, you can now speed up your Webpack build with esbuild by replacing babel-loader/ts-loader/Terser: https://github.com/privatenumber/esbuild-loader (It also blows my mind that Evan is the CTO is Figma. How is he so productive!?)

Both would be good to file. I’m happy to investigate myself if you don’t have the time. One thing to be aware of is that some other tools that integrate esbuild do so incorrectly. For example, the 3rd-party integration of esbuild into Webpack mis-configures esbuild in a way that causes issues with JSX: https://github.com/privatenumber/esbuild-loader/pull/107. This isn’t a problem with esbuild itself.
