SWC

SWC is an acronym that can refer to multiple, unrelated things depending on the context. It is used as an abbreviation in technology, education, and athletics, among other areas.

In software and web development, SWC commonly denotes Speedy Web Compiler, a fast compiler for JavaScript and TypeScript written in Rust. SWC aims to deliver high performance and can be used as an alternative to Babel and the TypeScript compiler in modern toolchains. It handles parsing and transforming code, and there is a separate minification tool known as swc-minify used to reduce output size.

In the history of American college athletics, SWC stands for the Southwest Conference. The conference operated from 1914 to 1996 and was a major venue for football and other sports in the Southwest, with member schools drawn primarily from Texas and nearby states.

In education, SWC is also an abbreviation used by several institutions named Southwestern College or Southwestern Community College, though the exact institution depends on the local setting.

Because SWC is used by different organizations and technologies, it is important to resolve the intended meaning from accompanying context.
