Vite is incredibly fast compared to Webpack.

I didn't really know how much time I could have been saving, and I never even thought of Webpack as slow.

IIRC Vite wraps esbuild, which is written in Go and very fast.

You can use esbuild with webpack via esbuild-loader, but what makes Vite so fast is mainly the strategy of pre-bundling dependencies when running the dev server, this makes hot starts and hot reloads incredibly quick.
