I think the future of JavaScript tooling is esbuild and SWC, written in fast compiled languages like Go and Rust. I don't see the value proposition in a brand new toolchain written in slow and memory hungry TypeScript/JavaScript.

you are right but the most common tools are still made with these. I think people don't worry about performance that much. or worry, but they don't make an effort to change that.

You're correct on this to some extent. Teams in our company are so fed up with webpack for local development that they are willing to skip some features it provides to use vitejs.dev for local dev. We fully couldnt avoid webpack 5 because Module federation is very very valuable.
