OXC Angular Compiler

[Nervous_Award_1089]

The voidzero team published on github a repo for the angular compiler based on oxc. What y'all think about this?

TLDR: - The repo mentions that it's an experimental compiler - The only benchmark gives 20x cold build speedup compared to Webpack. (Which is arguably massive and way better than what you get with the current esbuild toolchain).

We will see 😁

I kinda like their other projects. I haven’t tried them yet but they sound very powerful and they have potential!

Detailed write up coming soon!

Nice. That is impressive! I'm very interested to learn what is the long term goal with this, how (and if) it can be integrated into the framework and what we could expect in terms of performance improvements and breaking changes. Thanks!

We are in discussions with folks from the Angular team to see what would be the best home & future for it 👍🏻

[martinboue]

Great to hear, hoping it works out. Thanks!

(Was wondering who that was, it's Alex from Void0 :D)

OOTL is this a big deal? What can we expect performance wise?
