Earlier quoted context omitted.

Don't we have `tsx` and `nodemon` (or the native Node reloader) for that? What are the DX gaps you see on the server side out of on-the-fly transpilation and reload on watch?

One advantage of precompilation is risk reduction. Say tsx gets hacked somehow (hardly unprecedented with Node modules!) you’ve got it running on your production server exposed to the internet. Precompilation on a CI pipeline is still a risk but a significantly lower one.

If only the whole JavaScript wasn't as dependency hell of single function packages....

I love Vite, Vitest, Oxlint and Oxfmt and look in their direction for most of my new projects! I hope these folks manage to get a bunch of money and can fund the continued development for at least the next decade.

Sure beats opening some ancient project and seeing some mix of Gulp, Grunt, webpack and a bunch of other disjointed stuff (I migrated that one over to also use the newer stack).

Can it be used for Node builds or browser-only same as Vite?

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...

Layer on layer on layer on layer on layer.... Web development is just a meme by now

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.

Is there a subscription with this? I'm just wary about anything with a '+' and I assume there is a subscription attached to it. Looking at this it doesn't look like it.

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

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.

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.
