Rolldown: How Vite Bundles at the Speed of Rust
ViteConf 2025 was special - the first time the Vite community gathered in person, right here in Amsterdam. Fitting place for a talk about how Vite is about to get a whole lot faster.
I walked the audience through Rolldown, the Rust-based bundler from VoidZero that's becoming Vite's new engine. We covered the motivation, the current integration status through Rolldown-Vite, the performance gains teams are already seeing and how this connects to the broader Vite+ vision that was unveiled at the conference.

The Angular Plus Show invited me over to talk about - yes - Vite. A bit of a crossover episode, given my Vue/Nuxt background, but it turns out the future of Vite, Rolldown and Oxc is very much a cross-framework story.
