The oxc team released official Rust-based React Compiler support, delivering a ~17.6× speedup on compiler builds compared to Babel. Vite v6.1.0 introduced experimental native React Compiler support via { compiler: true }, with an alternative plugin available for those not using the official Vite React plugin.
Background
The React Compiler (formerly React Forget) aims to eliminate unnecessary re-renders through automatic memoization. The oxc project has been developing a high-performance Rust implementation of the compiler as an alternative to the Babel-based version.
