This looks cool, Quick question if anyone is using Parcel with Angular. How well is this working for you when compared to webpack?
Might be worth raising an issue for some docs on this. https://github.com/parcel-bundler/parcel/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%...
Parcel: Fast, zero configuration web application bundler

#12IMO, the fact that 1726 modules is a “reasonable” number for a web app is a clear indication that there is something seriously wrong with this process.

#13I've used used Parcel for a few projects this year and really enjoyed it for the most part. I've found it's basically effortless for building static projects, but its lack of documentation can be frustrating when errors pop up (e.g. I was stuck on an older version for a while due to some issue with a newer release) and I still haven't quite figured out the best pattern for extracting the hashed bundle names for use in other places.
That being said, Webpack 4 (released months ago) shipped with a similar zero config option, so I'll likely go back to it for future projects.

I try to avoid using webpack, because it looks over overcomplicated. So I would prefer a tool like this. Do stuff automatically and dig deeper if you need some custom option. Nice job! Well done!

Re: Parcel: Fast, zero configuration web application bundler
#16The 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).
Oh no! One language has a build process and toolchain... We should clearly throw everything else out and just use this one hammer for everything! /s
Believe it or not, some people have problems in domains with contexts that have nothing to do with yours and the things they come up with are equally valid solutions.

#17Please 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
> It’s so noisy and childish. 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.

Re: Parcel: Fast, zero configuration web application bundler
#18Is something really wrong with WebPack? Didn’t we decide that we want more modularity and plugins, instead of “zero configuration” solutions that lock you into a few technologies? What about the next hip new frameworks that release in the future? Will they just be piled into parcel, or will they add a plugin system? This seems like an unsustainable model.

#19Congrats to the Parcel team! Really great work. Having used Parcel in personal projects for the past year, it really is a great user experience.
Despite what people says in the comments, Parcel has its (great) value. The ability to import a rust file directly and have it compiled to a web assembly module for example, is a great piece of engineering and exceeded my expectations for web build tools. Parcel also hits the sweet spot where it's both zero-config, and easy to customize if you find the need.
Honestly? Parcel has a better experience than your C++ build tools. Be it CMake, Ninja, or whatever build tools people use in 2018.
Re: Parcel: Fast, zero configuration web application bundler
#20Ah, 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 ent…

sounds like progress / innovation to me?
