		orra on May 27, 2020 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Snowpack 2.0 I find this interesting. As a mainly desktop developer now doing web frontend work, the JS ecosystem has been so frustrating. Bundlers struck me as unnecessary given JS now has native module support, and that is the premise of this project. Some out of memory issues when bundling certain dependencies, and slow "npm start" times with React, has only strengthened my initial impressions. So again, this could be a welcome impovement.

You'll likely still want to bundle for production, though, for the optimizations like minification, dead code elimination, module splitting, etc.

But yeah, JS is Crazy Town. It can be very frustrating.

( Be wary of dependencies. )
