Vite: The New Kid on the Block

Vite is an amazing tool that has the potential to streamline the traditionally sluggish task of bundling modules in JavaScript, but it also comes with some losses.

It is able to take care of about 90% of the configuration tasks normally involved when using npm, Gulp, Rollup, Parcel, etc. The usage is very convenient on new projects, but the integration of such a brand new tool in existing projects comes with its drawbacks.

This talk will look at the technology that drives Vite: What makes Vite an opinionated development tool and how does it compare to other builders? We will try to openly discuss this movement.
