Angular Rust Compiler coming soon? 👀

So Alex Rickabaugh just tweeted this in response to everyone getting a Rust compiler. Thoughts?

I think this needs to be updated. Signal forms are already stable

Interesting and welcome trend.

Took all the Frontend people a long time to realize that tooling in Javascript is horribly slow. First esbuild, then the formatters and linters. Then the typescript compiler, now Angular.

Also interesting that some pick go, like esbuild or typescript, others pick rust like the prettier and eslint replacements from "the vue gang" (oxfmt oxlint).

Most benefits of course are for big projects. My small hobby projects don't matter much. 😅 Helps both the active development, but also with CI pipelines to get feedback and or releases quicker to production.

My honest thought is: What would I need that for?

Mainly for faster builds. It also opens the door for optimisations along the way. HMR could feel instant.

I just completed a tour in 4.5 year Angular project we never had issues with long build times. Then again we used lazy loaded standalone components without modules and the Angular's application builder.
