Vite 8 exports parseSync (oxc, bundled inside rolldown) and deprecates parseAst in its favour: https://vite.dev/guide/migration#advanced. It parses TS natively, so @sveltejs/acorn-typescript goes too.

Given that Svelte itself will still be using Acorn and this plugin, we won't actually be dropping any dependencies. What are the tradeoffs with aligning with Vite rather than the Svelte compiler?

Good point. The way I see it, the two packages use acorn for different jobs. Svelte's compiler is built on the acorn AST end to end, while kit only reads top-level export declarations from page modules and built chunks, which look identical in both ASTs. So there's no compiler code for kit to stay aligned with; kit's parsing is a build-step concern, and the build tool already ships a parser. That lets kit stop declaring its own acorn pair, which I think is also what broke the later reporters in #13809. oxc is marginally faster on top, though that's not my main argument.

In favour of this even though the two dependencies will still exist in everyone's tree, since it would result in a dropped dep in either a hypothetical future in which everyone is using rsvelte, or one in which there's some preferred alternative to Acorn to use within Svelte. The speed boost is a nice bonus
