Toolchain Notes
by Christophe Rosset
My original goal was to better understand the internals of the oxc ecosystem, which as of this day may well be on track to be the new standard for JavaScript tooling.
This involves subjects that I really enjoy, some of them I know well, some others I wish to get better at. This repository contains the notes I've taken while diving into the source code of rolldown, oxc and its ecosystem.
The goal isn't to explain each line of code (they will eventually evolve over time), but to understand how the blocks fit together and how the technologies are used.
If you read this book, you will:
- Get into the internals of rolldown, oxc (the oxc part is still wip)
- Discover how technologies such as Wasm and Napi are used inside those projects
Disclaimer: This work is based on myself reading the source code over multiple repositories.
- I might get some things wrong
- Some of my findings may end up out of date somehow
Don't hesitate to give a ⭐️ to the project on github.
