vite — v8.0.11
A build tool and dev server for modern web projects. Starts instantly (no bundling in dev), uses native ES modules in the browser, and bundles with Rollup for production. The replacement for webpack in most new projects.
esbuild — v0.28.0

biome — v0.3.3
A single tool that replaces both ESLint and Prettier. Formats and lints JavaScript, TypeScript, JSON, and CSS. Written in Rust, so it runs much faster than the JS-based tools it replaces.
bun — v1.3.13
A JavaScript runtime, package manager, bundler, and test runner in one. Faster than Node.js at most things. Drop-in compatible with most Node.js code. Written in Zig.
vitest — v4.1.5

oxc — v1.0.1
A JavaScript/TypeScript toolchain written in Rust — parser, linter, formatter, transpiler, bundler. The project behind the oxlint linter. Faster than most existing tools by a large margin.
