In my previous article about ES6 tree shaking a reader commented suggesting that I add a list of bundlers that support tree shaking to the bottom of the article. Instead I am going to create a list of JS bundlers.
Feel free to suggest any more bundlers that I can add to the list in the comments!
Vite and Snowpack seem to be pretty cool. I just didn't use them because they are kind of only wrappers around their respective bundlers with some extra features for faster development.
You have compiled a nice list there 😉
I like Rollup and how it works inside Svelte, plus exited about esbuilt in the future 😉
Thanks! Yeah esbuild is pretty cool I just haven't had a chance to try it out. The fact that Snowpack is going to use esbuild as it's default bundler will probably help advance the project a ton.
I don't consider Snowpack and Preact WMR bundlers because they really are more of just wrappers around Webpack and Rollup with better HMR. Thanks for the Rome one, the project seems pretty cool. I will add it to the list.
Good write up.
FYI. I just read about vitejs.dev... looks interesting
