Sucrase is quite fast indeed, but some of the trade-offs make it a very difficult choice. It will silently compile invalid JS, and is not easily extensible, so you’ll end up bringing in more tooling on top of it to support things like css modules or a framework like svelte. I don’t think it will survive for long.

It’s for good reason that the docs end on this note:

> You should think carefully before using Sucrase in production. Sucrase is mostly beneficial in development, and in many cases, Babel or tsc will be more suitable for production builds.
