Core team on Marko and author of Solid. Vite is exactly the sort of project we've been looking for.

Sure I love coming up with the perfect Rollup setups to produce the smallest application bundles. But Vite closed the loop we were looking for in terms of offering low config client/server applications with both ease of use and great flexibility.

You can see the focus and care put into Vite to make it easier to address the complexity of configuration. We still have plugins/starter templates for Webpack and Rollup, but for the average developer getting started with these frameworks Vite just gives so much out of the box. It really gives the ease of something like Parcel, with the ability to expand. This makes it far superior to solutions like CRA which forced monkey patching or ejection.

We've already seen through meta-frameworks like Next that there is a big desire here, and what at one point seemed like a huge undertaking for a historically single developer project like Solid, is suddenly becoming a reality. And others have the ability to build and share these setups as well.

Evan and the rest of those working on Vite have my thanks and my gratitude.
