Oh! This is cool. When they announced it 5 months ago it looked interesting, but it wasn't open source. Discussion at the time: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45537035

With this being open sourced, and being the integration and creation of several fast components, this becomes an obvious recommendation for JS/TS. Similar to Cargo for Rust and uv for Python, yes?

Congrats, all.

The web has always needed a simpler tooling story, not just an easier one. And the credentials for this attempt are far more favourable than previous attempts.

Glad to see Vite+ is now MIT licensed. That will immensely help with adoption.

The Void.cloud/Cloudflare tie-in is very reasonable for deployment workflows and associated runtime APIs. I think I've heard that everything else in the Vite+ scope (build/test/check/run, etc) will be decoupled (i.e. plugin-based and agnostic of runtimes/hosting providers) which sounds like an important ongoing principle.

This announcement mentions Node.js a couple of times. Does it also support Bun as a package manager and a runtime?

vp install: Install dependencies with automatic package manager detection

And it doesn't even support one of the bigger PM's? Weird

What's the difference then between Void and Vite+

vite+ is a cli tool and open source, which is built on top of vite.

void is a deployment platform and sdk which is built on top of cloudflare and vite. void will be paid offerring
