NOT ON THE CURRENT EDITION
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions, it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar.

Trial
Worth pursuing. It is important to understand how to build up this capability. Enterprises should try this technology on a project that can handle the risk.
We've always been keen to find tools that can shorten the software development feedback cycle; esbuild is such an example. As the front-end codebase grows larger, we usually face a packaging time of minutes. As a JavaScript bundler optimized for speed, esbuild can reduce this time by a factor of 10 to 100. It is written in Golang and uses a more efficient approach in the process of parsing, printing and source map generation which significantly surpasses build tools such as Webpack and Parcel in building time. esbuild may not be as comprehensive as those tools in JavaScript syntax transformation; however, this doesn't stop many of our teams from switching to esbuild as their default.
