Rolldown Pulls Rust React Compiler Integration After Binary Size Increase

The article describes Rolldown and Vite maintainers pulling a Rust-based React Compiler integration after it increased the binary size by ~17%, sparking debate over framework-specific bloat versus build performance gains; it covers technical trade-offs (native Rust integration vs. JS plugins), proposed mitigations like compressed native addons and raw AST transfer, and ongoing optimization experiments to reduce size while preserving speed.
