@swc/core, a blazing-fast alternative to Babel, has a new release: version 1.4.15, succeeding the previous stable version 1.4.14. Both versions share the same core dependencies like @swc/types and @swc/counter, and a vast array of devDependencies for testing, tooling and integration including Jest, Typescript, Babel and Prettier which suggests the library is well maintained and tested. The core functionality is the same, focused on providing a super-fast compilation experience.
While the dependency lists appear largely identical, the key changes between these versions likely reside in bug fixes, performance improvements, and minor updates within the core compilation logic. Developers should note the optional dependencies which provide platform-specific binaries for improved performance on various operating systems (Darwin, Linux, Windows) and architectures (x64, arm64, ia32, arm). It is important to specify the right platform during installation to get the most performant version for you production environment.
The @swc/core package continues to be licensed under Apache-2.0, backed by author 강동윤 and funded through Open Collective, reinforcing its open-source nature and community-driven development. Developers seeking a high-performance JavaScript/TypeScript compiler for their projects should consider upgrading to the latest version, 1.4.15, and consulting the changelog for precise details on the incorporated changes and improvements.
