Turbopack is just a bundler, while Rome is the whole package. I think only Deno strives for the same, but still can’t replace things like eslint


Sure, but Rome is being eaten by the other things Vercel has, such as SWC replacing Terser and Babel. Pretty soon all of Rome's niches will be already met by other tools, I'd wager. I think Rome simply does not have a large and well-funded enough team compared to Vercel and others like Vite.


I think this could benefit Rome. Both projects are written in Rust and so far they have a linter and a formatter and now they can integrate Turbopack, package it behind "rome build" and don't have to build their own bundler and transpiler.


IMO, The whole thing behind Rome is that it will have one tool to do everything (lint, prettify, minify, build etc), so every part in pipeline remains in sync. Using other tools for parts of it(build etc) would be against the philosophy


Is Rome being used anywhere? I haven't heard about it for a while. Kinda figured it was dead tbh
