I think the unusual thing is that it was written in a week. I highly doubt that they read and understood all 1M lines. But if it works and people use it, what does that mean for software? Should we still care about the code that’s written? Should we even look? I’ve always thought so, but maybe I’m just biased.
Nothing is keeping them to this plan other though, I hope they do follow through. That would make the graph on the page misleading in the other direction though as the speed feature would be included in the non plus version.
I want to also say I'm a happy vite user (and the other projects that team makes).
Ehhhhh... what does this mean for the open source versions of all these libs? You could interpret some of the graphs as vite oss isn't getting rolldown. That would be disappointing but still okay.
Agreed, I really liked how the site looked. I thought it was really slick and I am blown away by the how easy the author added extra information in a blog post. Nice work!
