Rolldown Pulls Rust React Compiler Integration After Binary Size Increase

Rolldown and Vite pulled a Rust-based React Compiler integration after maintainers decided the binary-size cost was too high for a feature that would ship to all users by default. Boshen, a maintainer involved in Rolldown and Oxc, said the increase could not be justified for the full Vite user base. “We withdrew the Rust React Compiler integration from Rolldown and Vite because it increased the binary size from 28.7MB to 33.8MB, a 17% increase,” he wrote.
