SWC to speed up typescript
SWC is a great project which re-implements `tsc` the typescript transpiler in Rust. Using this can significantly speed up typescript builds.
Good use cases are where you may be currently using ts-node
to directly execute typescript code.
Integrating this with Jest can also yield significant speed increases for a typescript project.
At the current time of writing I recommend that this tool is used in specifically chosen situations, and that the official tsc
transpiler is used to build code for production.
