Vite storms ahead with momentum and momentum

vitejs/vite is dominating across the board on popularity and velocity metrics, crushing evanw/esbuild on stars (81k vs 40k), forks (8.4k vs 1.3k), and shipping frequency (112 releases vs 6 in the last month). The gap widens further with 1,267 commits to esbuild's 151 over the past year, plus vitejs/vite pushed just today while esbuild hasn't shipped in 26 days—this is a clear winner on momentum.

Shape of the matchup

Each axis is scaled to the bigger of the two — the leader always reaches the edge. It shows who leads on each dimension, not by how much; hover an axis (or read the bars) for the real numbers.

Bars are scaled within each row — they compare the two repos on that metric, not across metrics. Size rows (lines of code, open issues, languages) are facts, not victories, so they are never scored. Shipping counts show “—” while GitHub warms its weekly stats cache.
