The Rust React compiler reached Vite, and a real codebase compiles 17.6x faster.

A September 4 writeup covers oxc's native Rust implementation of the React compiler arriving in @vitejs/plugin-react v6.1.0 as experimental support. oxc's own preliminary benchmark put it above 10x faster than Babel; a 1,036-file React codebase came in at 0.81 seconds against Babel's 14.3. The release also fixes prior gaps around conditional logic in try/catch, destructured component props in closures, and computed object property keys (blog.master.dev).
