How many people use @rspack/core?
npm counted 11,641,873 downloads of @rspack/core in the last 7 days. Nobody can count people exactly, npm included: it does not record who downloaded what. After removing mirror spikes and crawlers, about 11.6M look like real installs. At this scale most of them come from CI, builds and other packages that depend on @rspack/core, so the number of people behind them is far smaller.
Is @rspack/core still maintained?
Most likely yes, going by its releases. The latest version, 2.3.1, came out on Nov 3, 2026. The last 12 months saw 52 stable releases, typically 7 days apart, plus 27 pre-releases. It was first published on Apr 6, 2022. npm lists 2 maintainers.
Is @rspack/core still used?
Downloads with publish spikes removed are up 29% over 3 months and up 323% over 11 months. For scale, the median of the 269 packages we track, which lean towards today's most downloaded, is up 157% over 11 months, so this one is ahead of that. Last week, 70% of downloads above the crawler floor were on major version 1, not the latest one; the most used single version was 1.7.11, with 22%. Weekdays get 2.3× the downloads of weekends, which fits people at work, though CI follows the same rhythm. Crawlers account for about 1,242 downloads a week, roughly 1 per version.
How the estimate works
- Cut the spike every new version gets from mirrors in its first days.
- Subtract the flat floor robots download from every version each week.
- Show what is left as a range, with a confidence level. It still includes CI and dependency installs, so it is not a count of people.
