Doesn't Rollup already use quite a bit of rust[0]? It's actually why I had to abandon it for a project, where they didn't offer binaries for our build platform and I needed to bundle, like 2 ES6 javascript libraries so I just grabbed esbuild instead.

What platform was that that wasn't supported by Rollup (and Rust), but was supported by Esbuild (and Go)?

An illumos distribution which is supported by rust, and the rust stuff would successfully build but `npm install` wouldn't because they didn't provide binaries for that platform and it was much faster to just switch to esbuild than figure out all that was needed to get it supported.

I only tried rollup from the beginning because the ES6 project I was trying to bundle suggested it.
