Vite 8 Launches with a Radical Architecture Overhaul, Cutting Build Times from 46 s to 6 s

Vite 8 replaces the dual esbuild‑Rollup engine with the Rust‑based Rolldown, unifies the toolchain with Oxc, delivers up to 8× faster builds (e.g., 46 s → 6 s on Linear), drops Babel, adds native TypeScript path alias, decorator metadata, built‑in devtools, and other new features.
