    The idea that we'll need to teach every future generation of webdev how to operate bundlers and transpilers and all the rest strikes me as a good way not to have future generations of web developers.https://twitter.com/justinfagnani/status/1114175719456657410 …

    To me the solution isn't to abstract away the browser, but add to it the composition features that frameworks/bundlers (and every other app platform) have: modules, components, encapsulation, and a dependency systems that admits the actual resources used...

        Yeah, TC39 has dropped the ball by letting the TypeScript folks effectively block proposals on typing. Clearly needed, should be built-in.

        Having spent the majority of my first two plus months at a new gig fighting with their silly bundle/compile/framework nonsense, I have to agree.

        Eh. How do you learn C++? First you learn this magical pure version, then you learn autoconf etc, then you say “oh crap” and deal with MFC. Not that dissimilar, and the language is still doing just fine.

        Babel et al are more like Boost. Having that be required knowledge is an almighty huge tax.

        There will always be specific custom needs once you get past 'hello world' and need to include things from varying teams with varying tech/assets. Until we have 'Jarvis, build me a webapp!', I think what e.g. works with rollup combined with workbox makes things simple

        Sure, absolutely, and performance needs always make space for tooling. How far into the journey you have to pay that price *matters*, tho.
