Fair enough, but it still could be a gamechanger, even if it is "just" compile time - dev.to/justinschroeder/rolldown-wh...

Btw. from a dev's perspective fast compile times possibly mean even more than fast runtime. I have to deal with big legacy Java project in my work. It takes up to MINUTES between making a change and seeing it running...

Sure, faster compile times are always great. What I ment is, vite performance is already quite fast, and generally I never felt like it is blocking me from doing stuff by any means. The build is a bit slower, but I generally look up some docs, start prepping a commit etc or write some small documentation for myself or other devs if they use that library, so I tend to not really notice it. Now, if that is 1 min every time I want to run dev build, yeah, would be anoying for sure ^^

It is true that thanks to Vite's HMR in dev mode I don't even experience "slow" builds that much. Changes I make during development are close to instant now.
