I'm always curious of the use case when someone proposes Node code bundling. What's the advantage? Obfuscation in SEA?

It uses Vite so the same limitations as Vite. However, I have been using Vite for my NestJS servers without any problem with `vite-plugin-node`. See example at https://github.com/leosuncin/nest-vite-example/blob/master/v...

I am using Vite+ for CLIs as well, yes. You don't use Vite as dev server then but lint, format, task running and caching is still there!

Says:

"It is fully open source under the MIT license"

Naming is worrisome!

I think that used to be the idea but then they got acqui-hired

My first thought too. "$name+" is strongly coded now as "subscription service for $name"

How do you bundle web workers that import dependencies? iirc the issue in esbuild for that is still open and users are manually building their workers as separate entry points, which is very fragile.

I am actually pushing our frontend devs to remove more and more dependencies and leverage LLMs to just write the code instead of all the dumbass packages in hellscape of supply chain attacks via node/npm.

> I hope these folks manage to get a bunch of money and can fund the continued development for at least the next decade.

I believe VoidZero has been acquired by Cloudflare [1], so money should not be an issue. Question is if Cloudflare will be willing to continue letting these people work on Vite and Vite+ features that benefit all cloud platforms, not just Cloudflare.

This is just what modern languages have out of box. (Like rust and go.) it’s a true shame that web isn’t actually unified behind a type safe language with a single solid toolchain. It’s a huge pain to manage and I’m curious how much money it’s cost the industry. “Vite+” isn’t a true solution to that. There are many competing toolchains. And no default standardized one.

Pretty much all software is built like that.

It's all great to leverage until something breaks in a middle layer and you can't reproduce without submitting your entire project in the GitHub issue.

Don't be so negative nancy here!

I have been doing "modern web" things since essentially day zero (you kids with your fancy JIT compiled javascript interpreters!)

SvelteKit, and by extension, Vite, has been the single most productive webstack I have ever used. If this offers anything on top of that, I welcome it with open arms.

Far from being a meme!
