This is just what modern languages have out of box. (Like rust and go.) it’s a true shame that web isn’t actually unified behind a type safe language with a single solid toolchain. It’s a huge pain to manage and I’m curious how much money it’s cost the industry. “Vite+” isn’t a true solution to that. There are many competing toolchains. And no default standardized one.

Vite+ isn't a layer, it's "just" a high-performance suite of excellent tools that work well together to provide a great DX for developers.

Vite+ can improve and simplify what developers are already doing with ad-hoc collections of tools. Vite is already an industry standard, and Vite+ has a good chance of achieving that status as well.

Deze vuist op deze vuist. Deze vuist op deze vuist. Deze vuist op deze vuist. En zo klim ik naar boven.

You probably need to see a video or gif to get it.

It's all great to leverage until something breaks in a middle layer and you can't reproduce without submitting your entire project in the GitHub issue.

Pretty much all software is built like that.

Don't be so negative nancy here!

I have been doing "modern web" things since essentially day zero (you kids with your fancy JIT compiled javascript interpreters!)

SvelteKit, and by extension, Vite, has been the single most productive webstack I have ever used. If this offers anything on top of that, I welcome it with open arms.

Far from being a meme!
