We're currently in a rewrite with the exact stack this starter pack has.

Bun is faster & has better package management, but the build is only suitable for very basic use cases. Once you get into more exotic build scenarios, the lack of plugins for bun gets obvious, so we've switched from a custom bun build script back to vite.

Side note (in true HN tradition):

I'm a bit hesitant to base our front-end on react. It has currently become the de-facto ui solation, which makes me wonder if the new kid on the block (solidjs IMHO) would not be more suitable.

Unfortunately the ecosystem for solidjs isn't at that level where I'm confident enough yet to make the big bet & switch to it in full. Maybe we'll use it in a few side/tool projects, too get a general feel and see how this evolves...

Yeah bun has a build command and handles at least most of what vite does (bundling, code splitting, asset imports, etc).

I'm also curious why you'd need vite with bun, maybe there are some features in vite that bun is missing?
