Discussion on: Why I keep an eye on the Vue ecosystem and you should too

Well, JSX isn't really first party supported and Vite rewrite won't really increase runtime performance, more compile time. That being said, I think even if people don't plan on using vue, vue ecosystem is kind of prototyping a possible future of JS land, and it looks kind of promising

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.
