Alipay’s front-end developer, sorrycc, from the Ant Group, has announced the open-source project Mako. This high-speed front-end build tool is written in Rust, emphasizing speed in execution and resulting script size. Mako outperforms Rsbuild, Farm, or Vite in efficiency.
The testing team tried building the Ant Design Pro project with webpack, taking 16 seconds, while Mako only took 3.9 seconds. Additionally, when looking at Hot Module Replacement timing, Mako is significantly faster, almost achieving real-time updates.
The Mako development team started in March 2023, consisting of three members inexperienced in Rust. They learned through previous projects like Farm, Rspack, ChatGPT, and now utilize it internally within Ant across several projects.
