Are we ready for javascript without a build step on the front end in 2023?
Are we ready for javascript without a build step on the front end in 2023?
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

The real answer to the question you didn't ask is: just don't involve yourself in internet drama's.
Tell me instead, what is the problem with a build step and typescript?
Well it's an extra step that you're only doing to address this problem.
Are you one of those "types are noobs" people?
No
