#24Maybe this is intuitive to JS devs, but what are the advantages of "zero third-party dependencies" and "being a comprehensive tool for the processing of anything JS related" or any of the other selling points of Rome? It seems like an impressive project, but it's not obvious to me what its actual benefits are.
It's not intuitive to me as a JS dev too... Are you guys gonna re-implement typescript for example? Where does 'no deps' line get drawn?

If they end up using Rome internally that should be a good sign that it will be supported for years to come. React has been very well maintained for the past 5+ years.

#29I don't know if want this or if I really just want create-react-app for things that aren't react. A lot of tools do things Good Enough (which everyone disagrees on and will always fragment the ecosystem). But I do loathe setting up all the plumbing from scratch.
