Ask HN: Are JS bundlers filling a design flaw?
4 by pipeline_peak | 5 comments on Hacker News.
I don’t have a lot of experience in Node development. From a glance, my idea of a bundler is a utility that takes code from software packages and assembles it with autogenerated boilerplates to produce front end applications that can run without any backend dependence. From looking at a few, my concern is they are inherently bloated and fill a gap that really shouldn’t exist. Shouldn’t JS client code be assembled with packages as a standard, something that compiles together without all this filler nonsense? These things typically produce tens of thousands of lines just to add simple libraries.
