Ah, the neverending cycle.

1. The existing tool is way too complicated to configure and slow. Let me introduce a new, zero-configuration, blazing fast tool

2. OK so because it's strongly opinionated there are some things it can't do. So we'll allow you to extend it via plugins. You'll have to configure this.

3. Due to the increasing popularity, we are making a meta-version that lets you re-plug any element in the entire system with one of your own choosing. You'll have to configure this.

4. GOTO 1.

The code looks nice, I hope it has helped you in your life. But frankly, if a JavaScript developer ever really wants to solve the problem... Learn enough C++ to write the equivalent code that compiles 6.5M in 0.1 seconds (assuming a nice HD).

C++ doesn't even compile 6.5M of C++ in .1 seconds.

Please God no. We don’t need another bundler. Also. What’s up with the obsessive use of emojis everywhere? Take a look at this issue for example: https://github.com/parcel-bundler/parcel/issues/144

Just like your comment.

Clearly a lot of people have put good work into this project, and have decided it adds value to their workflow and your first reaction is to sling mud. Maybe try reddit.

Do you know enough C++ to try that? I'd be really interested to see the results - I'm not sure language is the bottleneck.

I work in a beige organisation where we're not allowed to use emojis in tickets (they wouldn't render correctly on our PCs anyway). I can't wait to work somewhere else that allows it - I have to spend 8 hours a day at work, may as well enjoy myself a little bit.
