Why the Web Needed Build Tools

Ryan welcomes back Evan You, the creator of Vite and Vue.js, to discuss the evolution of build tools in web development, the unique features of Vite from its plugins to its hot module capabilities, and the future of Vite, including its integration with Rust. Plus, they touch on Vite’s new documentary and the power of open-source communities.

Episode notes:

Vite is a frontend build tool powering the next generation of web applications. 

Check out all of the work Evan is doing at his company VoidZero. 

For more on the origins of Vite, watch the newly-released Cult.repo’s documentary. 

If you’d rather hear Evan talk about Vue.js, listen to the podcast we published with him earlier this summer.
