The main goal of the esbuild bundler project is to bring about a new era of build tool performance, and create an easy-to-use modern bundler along the way.
Major features:
* Extreme speed without needing a cache
* ES6 and CommonJS modules
* Tree shaking of ES6 modules
* An [API](https://esbuild.github.io/api/) for JavaScript and Go
* [TypeScript](https://esbuild.github.io/content-types/#typescript) and [JSX](https://esbuild.github.io/content-types/#jsx) syntax
* [Source maps](https://esbuild.github.io/api/#sourcemap)
