Much less indeed, not all Webpack plugins capabilities are supported and now anyone that wants to make one has to learn Rust, which surely isn't the same as writing it in JavaScript.
The splitting communities effect always gets left out of these announcements, or gets positioned as something good.
We have invested a lot in webpack loaders which unblocked manmy ecosystem plugins. We don't particularly plan on creating a rust plugin API, when we do provide one it will be JS oriented. (well some people are interested in a wasm plugin layer, but we would always support JS first).
I'm not sure i understand your second comment? what got positioned as 'something good'?
