   How Vite Became the Backbone of Modern Frontend Frameworks

   Vite has rapidly become the dominant build tool for modern frontend frameworks within just five years. Created by Evan You, Vite leverages ES Modules to provide faster development experiences compared to Webpack. Starting as Vue Dev Server in 2019, it evolved into a framework-agnostic tool with Vite 2.0 in 2021, gaining adoption across Vue, React, Svelte, Astro, and other frameworks. You's company VoidZero is now developing Vite+, a unified toolchain that combines multiple Rust-based tools with AI integration features.
