Did not realize Bun had (even if rudimentary) macros - bundle time executing code support. That is pretty neat! https://bun.sh/docs/bundler/macros https://bun.s

  Wow that’s pretty neat. Because of that I also learned about import attributes (https://github.com/tc39/proposal-import-attributes https://github.com/tc39/proposal-import-attributes) which is probably going to be quite useful and make the 50 lines of imports in some of my files look even dumber.

    Some loaders already encode stuff in the path url style, e.g. vite-svg-loader import iconUrl from './my-icon.svg?url' Maybe I'm not imaginative enough but this seems like a reasonably restricted (i.e. simple) way of parametrizing imports.

      That's what I've been waiting for too. The URL params always seemed rather sketch to me. No bundlers seem to be using it that way though.

  this is one of the most interesting new things in the bundler space - Parcel is introducing some form of macro too. It's way overdue to have some way to program what happens at bundling time (without writing your own bundler plugin)
• FlorianRappl 2y ago
  Yes its neat - I wish more bundlers adopt it! In the past I've written a little plugin that is available for almost all bundlers allowing you to do that: https://dev.to/florianrappl/getting-bundling-superpowers-using-codegen-2no8 https://dev.to/florianrappl/getting-bundling-superpowers-usi...

  Didn’t Google’s closure compiler so something similar way before we had imports?
