How is Vite (frontend build tool) correctly pronounced?
Vite is pronounced 'VEET' — it is a French word meaning 'fast'. Don't say 'VYT' (English-style) — that is the most common non-native mistake. In a technical interview: "We migrated our React app from Create React App to Vite and cut cold-start dev time from 40 seconds to under 300 milliseconds."

How is Turbopack (Rust-based bundler) correctly pronounced?
Turbopack is pronounced 'TUR-boh-pak' — 'turbo' + 'pack'. Stress on TUR. Don't say 'tur-BOH-pak' with back stress. In a technical interview: "Turbopack's incremental engine means only the modules that changed are rebuilt on every save."

How is esbuild (JavaScript bundler) correctly pronounced?
esbuild is pronounced 'EE-es-bild' — spell out 'ES' then say 'build'. Stress on EE. Don't say 'EZ-bild' treating 'es' as a word. In a technical interview: "esbuild processes our two-thousand-module TypeScript codebase in under 200 milliseconds from cold."
4 / 5
How is Rspack (Rust-based webpack-compatible bundler) correctly pronounced?
Rspack is pronounced 'AR-es-pak' — spell out R-S then 'pack'. Don't say 'AR-spack' merging R and S into one consonant cluster. In a technical interview: "Rspack is webpack-API-compatible, so we migrated our config without touching a single loader definition."
5 / 5
How is Rolldown (Rust-based Rollup replacement) correctly pronounced?
Rolldown is pronounced 'ROHL-down' — 'roll' (long O) plus 'down'. Stress on ROHL. Don't say 'rohl-DOWN' with back stress. In a technical interview: "Rolldown is designed as a drop-in Rollup replacement so Vite can eventually use it without plugin changes."
