Vercel are claiming speeds of up to 10x faster than Vite and 700 time faster than Webpack.

> “Turbopack only bundles the minimum assets required in development, so startup time is extremely fast. On an application with 3,000 modules, Turbopack takes 1.8 seconds to boot up, while Vite takes 11.4 seconds.”

> “Since we're not offering 1:1 API compatibility, most Webpack plugins won't work out of the box with Turbopack.”

Should you care?

• Not right away

• Not unless you need speed over connivence

How to stop relying on frameworks and libraries

• Decided if you can write feature yourself using only the core components of the programming language.
• Check the knowledge of the team to find their base line skills.
• Move away from opinionated code ecosystems
• Avoid syntactic sugar covered standards
• The framework you use today may not be the tool you use in the future
• Code like you don’t have access to third party tools
• Care more about core conventions (PSR) than framework guidelines
