Could you build this?
No Writing a drop-in replacement for Vite in Rust requires deep compiler engineering, JavaScript/TypeScript AST parsing, Rollup compatibility, and high-performance HMR dev server architecture.
What it would actually take: Building this requires a Rust-based toolchain (utilizing SWC or OXC) that implements complete ECMAScript module resolution, CSS/asset bundling, source map generation, and a high-concurrency dev server with file watching and WebSockets. Achieving drop-in compatibility requires matching Vite's complex plugin ecosystem and edge-case lifecycle hooks.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a dev tools tool for Sales yet.
