🆚 Gulp vs. Vite

Gulp is an open-source JavaScript toolkit for automating repetitive development tasks using a code-based configuration and a streaming build system.

It uses Node.js streams to process files through pipelines of small, single-purpose plugins, enabling tasks such as compilation, minification, concatenation, image optimization, linting, and live reloading, and relies on an ecosystem of over 4,000 plugins available to extend its functionality.

Vite is a fast, framework-agnostic frontend build tool from the creator of Vue.js.

It uses native ES modules in the browser during development and Rollup for optimized production builds, offers near-instant server start and hot module replacement, supports code splitting and tree-shaking for smaller production bundles, and provides a flexible plugin system compatible with Rollup.
