Rolldown, a new JavaScript/TypeScript bundler written in Rust, has emerged from VoidZero, the maintainers of projects such as Vite. Rolldown offers a high performance alternative to conventional bundlers with full compatibility for the Rollup plugin ecosystem. Designed as the next logical step for modern build workflows, Rolldown promises significant build time improvements while retaining familiar plugin interfaces. Rolldown was designed primarily to be the underlying bundler within Vite to replace the existing Vite dependencies of esbuild and Rollup.
Vite+, the new unified JavaScript toolchain built on top of Vite, has been announced by VoidZero. Positioned as a drop-in superset of Vite, Vite+ introduces an all-in-one CLI experience, covering project scaffolding, testing, linting, formatting, library bundling, monorepo task running, and devtools visualization. The ambition is to reduce toolchain fragmentation and align large teams around a single, high-performance workflow. Vite+ aims to deliver enhancements across three primary dimensions: tooling consolidation, performance & scale, and enterprise-grade features.
