On: Farm: Fast vite compatible build tool written in R...

I don't understand what your need other than esbuild though...

I guess it doesn't support HMR? I guess I just persist the frontend state of my app so I only need livereload...

Just seems like so much wasted time and effort on marginal things. Just use ESBuild and start building something!

Esbuild lacks the featureful plugin API that Webpack and Rollup have. It's pretty easy to avoid dependencies that require transpiler/bundler plugins and still have a great set of dependencies, but it's a deal breaker for many.
