On the current typescript / anti-typescript internet drama I saw someone mention javascript without a build step.
Do you think we’re already there?
Last time I attempted it:
- there were too many libraries I couldn’t import
- JSX (using babel) had a warning saying you shouldn’t do it in the browser for production
- there was some advice against not using a bundler, because several requests for different .js files is slower and bigger than a bundled package
Kinda weird to bring up http/1.0 here. Nobody was bundling Javascript back then. Mostly, we were cursing our Javascript code for not working on more than one browser at a time.
