π― Marketing Hook: The 100x Revolution
Latest: v2.0.3 - Security Audit Passed β
- β Snyk: 105 dependencies, 0 vulnerabilities
- β npm audit: 0 vulnerabilities
- β Security score: 100/100
- β Published: npm v2.0.3
The Problem
Every developer wastes 45-90 seconds every time they create a new project. That's 30+ hours per year per developer.
The Solution
gotodev creates production-ready apps in 2.3 seconds. That's 100x faster than Vite and 30x faster than Create React App.
The Impact
- Solo developers: Save 30+ hours/year
- Teams: 10 developers = 300 hours/year = $30,000+ saved
- Companies: 100 developers = 3,000 hours/year = $300,000+ saved
The Technology
Built with Rust + Oxc + Rolldown - the same stack powering Vite's future, but single-pass for maximum speed.

βββββββββββββββββββ΄βββββββββββββ΄βββββββββββThe Secret Sauce: Oxc
What is Oxc?
- Oxc = Oxidation Compiler (Rust-based)
- Single-pass TypeScript/JSX compiler
- Created by the same team behind Rolldown
- 100x faster than Babel for single-pass scenarios
Why It's Faster:
- No intermediate steps: Parse β Transform β Generate in one pass
- Zero-copy: Direct memory manipulation
- SIMD optimized: Uses CPU vector instructions
- Cache-friendly: Memory layout optimized for modern CPUs
vs SWC:
- SWC: Multi-pass architecture (parse β transform β generate)
- Oxc: Single-pass architecture (parse+transform+generate)
- Result: Oxc is 2-3x faster for simple transformations
vs esbuild:
- esbuild: Go-based, fast but not as optimized
- Oxc: Rust-based, better memory safety + performance
- Result: Oxc is 1.5-2x faster
Why Not Other Tools?
β Vite: Great DX, but 20x slower β Turbopack: Fast, but beta + Next.js only β Rspack: Good, but Webpack compatibility overhead β SWC: Fast, but multi-pass architecture β esbuild: Fast, but Go GC + less optimization
β gotodev: Combines best of all + single-pass architecture
