Finally got rid of Webpack in 2022, and now I'll be able to get rid of Babel, too.
It's a bit mesmerizing to think that Vite at the time was still "that newish tool the Vue folk use", and now it's pretty much the standard bundler for web frontend. Also the easiest one to configure and use (in my experience).
Similarly, I'm glad I don't have to deal with karma, jest, etc. anymore.
- torginus 11d agoI really haven't invested heavily in understanding new tooling, but I did try to move to TS 7.0 and found that a lot of the tooling actually relies on parsing TS not just stripping the types. And the only tool that can do that reliably is `tsc`. I even had to revert from TS 7.0 (the go rewrite) to 6, because 7 doesn't support plugins and code analysis stuff (which I guess are js) in the way the tooling requires.
