Comment on Vite 4.0

Comments

i really like vite, my biggest complaint with it previously was that it used the incredibly slow babel in development. i'm very happy to see it's moving to swc, this will hopefully make large sveltekit projects not use all of my battery with hot reload

It's not possible to just switch to SWC, all the Babel plugins that you use would need to be rewritten for SWC also. As far as I know there's only one Svelte compiler and it's written in JS.

ahh well, guess i should've read it more carefully. joke's on me i guess
