Mentioning SWC and ESBuild but missing Rolldown (https://rolldown.rs/) here seems like a miss.

Or Rspack (https://rspack.rs/) which is intended to be a drop-in Webpack replacement

Take a look at workspace mode for that! See e.g. https://github.com/vue-macros/vue-macros/blob/main/tsdown.co... for reference.

Good point! Will improve this.

Think of it as in opinionated Rolldown-"preset" for libraries. It will be used as the foundation of Vite's lib mode revamp.

Appreciate that! Prices and details will be known closer to launch, so stay tuned

Consulting doesn't scale though and draws resources from development itself, harming both the OSS and the business side.

All functionality as part of OSS projects will stay there. OSS projects such as Vite, Vitest, Rolldown and Oxc will stay open source.

Eventually, the (financial) success of Vite+ is directly tied to the health, stability, and adoption of the free, open-source Vite ecosystem, so the incentive is rather low.

Take a look at the formatter RFC https://github.com/oxc-project/oxc/discussions/13608

+ Adding a task runner with fine-grained caching (which isn't open source). All in a single dependency.

And that is on purpose!

Selling access isn't really helpful there. The target group (companies) have to care about licenses at some point, while it will be free for OSS, individuals and the community.
