babel-core
Babel is a widely used JavaScript compiler that transforms your JavaScript ES6+ code into backwards compatible JavaScript code for current and older browsers or environments. Compared to @swc/core-linux-x64-gnu, Babel is more plugin-driven, allowing for a highly customizable build process but typically operates at a slower compilation speed.
typescript
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript that compiles down to plain JavaScript. It provides optional static typing, classes, and interfaces. While TypeScript focuses more on type safety and is primarily used for development in large codebases, @swc/core-linux-x64-gnu focuses on speed and efficiency in compiling modern JavaScript and TypeScript code.
esbuild
esbuild is an extremely fast JavaScript bundler and minifier. It compiles JavaScript and TypeScript code much like @swc/core-linux-x64-gnu but emphasizes on bundling and minification speed. esbuild uses Go instead of Rust, and its primary advantage is its speed, especially for bundling, which makes it a strong alternative for development builds and production bundling.
