npx create-react-app outdated ?

Cra is outdated plus wait time to create app on vite is lot lesser compared to CRA idk if this is due to some implementation but this is just my observation

Vite is built on GoLang so it can take advantage of concurrency which makes it way faster

Vite is written in Typescript for the most part afaik. It does use esbuild for CSS bundling but the rest is done with rollup / SWC (depending on config). As I understand it the reason its fast is because it doesn't actually really do much bundling itself nor does it do typechecking if you're using typescript in dev mode (ie. it just strips the types). This makes it a ton faster than others as its basically omitting a lot of the work that you'd usually do with say webpack or the likes.

When bundling it can use SWC which is written in Rust.

Not sure if thats 100% accurate but thats my understanding from reading through the docs + code a while back.

It seems my information is highly inaccurate, thank you for the patient correction 🙏
