		_fat_santa on July 13, 2022 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Vite 3.0 What I think they are referring to is the bundler is built with Go/Rust rather than JS (like Webpack). The difference in speed between Webpack and any bundler built in Rust/Go (SWC, Vite, Parcel, etc) is that the latter are like 10X faster, not "this is building faster" but "how the hell did it build this quick". That difference in speed is what I think of when they refer to "next generation".

Vite is not built in Go, esbuild is. esbuild is not the only reason why it's fast either, see https://vitejs.dev/guide/why.html.

Also, it does away with legacy JS imports. It doesn't use or support CommonJS without a plugin.
