Although esbuild has been out for a while now, I think it's relevant today because the benchmarks have been updated to include Parcel 2, which was just released earlier today.

Hi, one of the authors of the router here :) Try to insert routing only when you need it. When you're ready for a router, react-router is a great choice. Lots of people are already…

Ah, great catch! I never see that error because that file is only loaded in browsers that don't have a native window.fetch. Thanks for catching that. Will fix right away.

Karma and Mocha don't do the same thing, so this comparison is weird. Karma is a test runner. Use Karma to launch and run your tests in real browser instances. There is no better t…

This is HUGE! Thanks to everyone at Facebook who worked on this. You guys are awesome. Also: The fact that this is written primarily in OCaml (as opposed to JS) is an excellent exa…

Hats off to you guys as well. That's a TON of work. :) What % of Dart's development is sponsored by Google? Not trying to get a dig in at you guys, but it's also interesting to not…

I'm constantly impressed by the level of execution of the Elixir project. In ~3 years they have accomplished much more than many other language ecosystems have to date. It's great …

That should be part of your build system, not your package manager.

tl;dr: "We want to build isomorphic apps, so we wrote a new package manager" Coupling the goal of building isomorphic apps with the need for a new way of managing packages to accom…
