Sucrase vs Rome : What are the differences?
Developers describe Sucrase as "Super-fast alternative to Babel". Sucrase is an alternative to Babel that allows super-fast development builds. Instead of compiling a large range of JS features down to ES5, Sucrase assumes that you're targeting a modern JS runtime (e.g. Node.js 8 or latest Chrome) and focuses on compiling non-standard language extensions: JSX, TypeScript, and Flow. On the other hand, *Rome * is detailed as "All in one JS toolchain (By Facebook)". It is an experimental JavaScript toolchain. It includes a compiler, linter, formatter, bundler, testing framework and more. It aims to be a comprehensive tool for anything related to the processing of JavaScript source code.
Sucrase can be classified as a tool in the "JavaScript Compilers" category, while Rome is grouped under "Javascript Utilities & Libraries".
Sucrase and Rome are both open source tools. Rome with 7.96K GitHub stars and 254 forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Sucrase with 2.44K GitHub stars and 56 GitHub forks.
