No more babel in my compilation pipeline, yay!

Does this work with reacts fancy new compiler that is meant to optimize away various hooks?

Why does the Nextjs version of React compiler require a babel plugin when the vite version doesn't need it? Next.js is on SWC, not sure why they need a babel plugin.

OXC Transformers are amazingly faster than Babel. I'm building a framework ( https://github.com/vmsp/flypath ) for web, iOS and Android native development that's fully backed by OXC and Vite. Instead of transforming styles using Babel like StyleX, I just use OXC. Instead of Metro (React Native's bundler), which also uses Babel, it's just Vite. It's still very early but it's plenty, plenty fast.

What's a react compiler? Not JS or TS?
