🅰️ Are Angular 16 Vite Support Rumors True With 57% Faster HMR?

Angular 16 is likely to get Vite support 3 years after its release proving some sequels can be as awesome as Johny Wick 4.

If you are working with gulp, babel and other randomly picked by me prehistoric tools, you may not know what’s the deal with Vite and Angular.

What is Vite?

Vite is a build tool written by developers who think that the built tool chains for modern apps are too complicated and slow.

That’s why Vite tries to fill a gap for easy to configure and fast tool replacing all the loosely tied tools that people used for years.

One advantage is that less dependencies and less config means easier maintaince.

Second is that Vite prebuilds dependencies. It’s quite important because it means blazing fast serving of the app in the development mode. Even in the world of light libraries like React it’s a big deal meaning that even in bigger apps changes are rebuilt faster.
