They recently put out a new roadmap item to adapt the compiler to modern tools: https://angular.dev/roadmap#developer-velocity . Given the great track record of recent Angular road map deliverables, I think they'll come up with something at least faster than what we have now. Angular already runs on Vite, and the fact that Vite 8 exposes AST level plugin endpoints are good signs. Not waiting 1 minute for unit test suite or `ng serve` cold start would be very welcome indeed.
