NextJS 11.1

NextJS 11.1 just has been released. And as a fan of this react based framework I am always excited about news on this front. The release is mainly about build time improvements and fixes a security issue. But one remarkable change is the switch from JS to Rust for parts of the toolchain. Specifically Babel and Terser get replaced by SWC which has been already adopted by Deno and strapi before. That's an interesting shift towards more performance and away from a one-language-to-rule-them-all approach. I expect more of this to happen in the future. Especially since Rust is all the rage right now.
