What Hacker News says
5 sourcesShould I use AMDclean instead of Browserify?
1 points · Open discussionGreg is being modest by not mentioning his [AMDClean](https://github.com/gfranko/amdclean) library more prominently - it's a superb example of what he's talking about in this presentation.
It makes it possible to use AMD modules while building a library or web app (which is utter bliss when it comes to testing and debugging - no build lag or source map nonsense), but to convert it to non-AMD JavaScript in the final step. I use it on a fairly large (~10,000 LOC) library, [Ractive.js](https://github.com/RactiveJS/Ractive), and it's transformed the way I work.
