Vite Panel Discussion 2023
summary
Panel recounts concrete wins and tradeoffs: 3 million weekly downloads and an on‑demand dev server with HMR that ships fast edits while production builds use Rollup (and esbuild under the hood). Discussion lists what actually changed—import map support planned, module federation left to userland, Rust rewrite judged costly—and what was built: plugin ecosystem, Vite Test migration scripts, VCI and plugin‑checker. Watch mode delivers instant feedback; CI and large module graphs still expose performance tradeoffs.
