Appears to have goals similar to https://parceljs.org/ , except parcel is under active maintenance and development whereas the latest release on this one is from a year ago. Am I missing something important? :)

This project is very clearly under active dev. The box Github puts on the repo front page saying the last release was a year ago is misleading.

I'm confused by both of your comments. Latest commit is an hour ago, and all ten releases on the releases page are within two weeks. Where's "the box GitHub puts on the repo front page saying the last release was a year ago"? I've never seen a box like that on any repo front page.

I wonder if someone quantified the millions of hours wasted by OCD bikeshedders moving their projects over to the latest, not-necessarily better new thing offering vague utility improvements over the thing that was just starting to feel comfortable... if the JS community would stop churning their north star toolset every 18-24 months.

Seriously: it's like you're trying to nuke the moon. This is why people legitimately grief about "the ecosystem".

Thanks for pointing that out! I wonder why that is :S

Maybe you have set your internal clock to 2020 a bit too early? All the releases are recent: https://github.com/lastmjs/zwitterion/releases

Awesome with new ideas and approaches to things. Just because someone have taken time to solve things differently does not automagically imply that this is something that forces someone to throw old stuff out. Strange comment IMO.
