Vite – Next Generation Front End Tooling

Re:Vite – Next Generation Front End Tooling by Etheryte on Sunday July 03, 2022 @07:20PM (#31971859)

The first sentence of the "Getting started" page tells you the following:

> Vite (French word for "quick", pronounced /vit/, like "veet") is a build tool that aims to provide a faster and leaner development experience for modern web projects.

But of course it's easier to keep ranting and ignore the second part of the sentence you referenced because it doesn't match your narrative.

That's still very generic so as to be almost no information.

Imagine if python's homepage had no code samples at all, and the getting started page said "Python is a programming language for high productivity".

While I somewhat see where you're coming from, I don't really agree, but again, I would be biased since I already know plenty about different build tools. The main statement is that it's a build tool for modern web projects, which makes me thing a-la Webpack and similar. Then it's further specified that it's fast (which Webpack usually is not) and lean (which Webpack definitely is not). For me this already gives a rough idea of what to expect, whereas the Python analogy wouldn't tell me that much.
