Research direction

The issue names Rollup, TSC, esbuild, and swc but no files or tests. Start by locating the current transpilation and bundling configuration, then determine how an alternate engine could be selected and how equivalent output and build-speed improvements would be verified.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

esbuild and swc come to mind, being able to sidestep TSC for build speed would be amazing.
