@pika/web brings 2014 simplicity to 2019 JavaScript

devMode.fm

In this episode, we talk with Fred K. Schott from the Pika Project about a future without webpack. Instead of having a massive build system just to use some node packages on the frontend, we can use @pika/web!
@pika/web aims to tame some of the insanity that has come with modern JavaScript tooling. We talk about how it works to create a ‘web_modules‘ folder right next to your ‘node_modules‘ folder, and that you can just use ` tag to include any of those packages on the frontend!<br /> <br /> We also discuss the morass of JavaScript, bundling, and how we're layering tooling on top of tooling to fix our problems. Is there a better way? The Pika Project thinks so! Listen in to see what you think!</body></html>
