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, which cannot be justified for all Vite users. My current experiment is to have Claude understand our constraints. Preliminary results show up to a 2x performance improvement with only a 1.4MB increase in binary size. Next step is to de-slopify and get the code into a maintainable state, and also upstream some of the changes.
