I think this could be mitigated in some cases with better tooling. Many programming languages just make it needlessly difficult to interact with anything that's not part of their ecosystem. Check out parcel [0], a web application bundler. It has built-in support for lots of different assets [1], with two notable inclusions being ReasonML and Rust! In this blog post [2] they highlight how easy it is to import Rust code from JavaScript. Another neat example is Objective-C bridging on macOS [3]. The code usually doesn't end up looking very pretty, and it can be brittle at times, but with JavaScriptObjC you can interact directly with all the native APIs using JavaScript. Here's a blog post [4] showing how to write a native app on macOS using JavaScriptObjC. [0] https://github.com/parcel-bundler/parcel [1] https://parceljs.org/assets.html [2]

First class? Parcel uses Babel to transpile. Ugh. https://github.com/parcel-bundler/parcel/issues/954

So it is 3 times faster than Webpack, ATM it does not seem worth to be switching to this. Also the Parcel comparison seems wrong (maybe they are using too old version of Parcel?), see Parcels own benchmarks https://github.com/parcel-bundler/parcel#benchmarks

I hate doing javascript. I have no desire to attempt to understand or mess with JS or build systems past the bare minimum I can manage to get a project working so I can move on with my life. So I tried using this. It was nice while what I was doing fit inside of everything that was default settings and/or what maintainers used. As soon as I stepped outside of that I ran into things like having to hope someone implemented a Parcel plugin for some random transform (an issue that applies to Webpack, too, but Webpack has so many more users that you're guaranteed someone actually did make one that actually works correctly), or: https://github.com/parcel-bundler/parcel/issues/645. Having an issue on something as popular as Bootstrap 4 be open for 6+ months is pretty frustrating. I spent several hours flailing at this issue to no avail. I switch

Might be worth raising an issue for some docs on this. https://github.com/parcel-bundler/parcel/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%...

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

The simplest way that I find to get an webapp running is by using [parcel](https://github.com/parcel-bundler/parcel) for bundling the frontend and using a python [flask](http://flask.pocoo.org/) server for backend. I don't think it could get any simpler than this. Now if I have a database, I usually go with mongodb along with pymongo.

interesting. it may have been fixed. check this? https://github.com/parcel-bundler/parcel/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%...

The project looks nice and easy to use but I wonder if it might be confused with the javascript bundler named Parcel. https://github.com/parcel-bundler/parcel

For what it's worth, my experience with Parcel so far has been a show stopping bug that makes CSS Modules unusable with it, was quite difficult to diagnose (as with any bug in a dependency, I spent yonks looking at my own codebase), and has so far gone un-fixed. https://github.com/parcel-bundler/parcel/issues/378 I don't see how this is really possible given the relatively high usage level of CSS Modules, but whatever. I'm forced to stick with Webpack for the time being.

Nice! Will be curious to see some benchmarks vs https://github.com/parcel-bundler/parcel

Parcel is a new configuration-free build pipeline that's new. https://github.com/parcel-bundler/parcel It's still missing a few things like dead-code elimination.

If anyone is tired of Webpack configuration issues / slow performance, give Parcel a try: https://parceljs.org/ The project is less than two months old, so Parcel might not be a good fit for you. But if it is, it's usually a drop-in replacement. Zero configuration. Just run it and go. We're working hard to add the most requested features: source map support is coming very soon, for example. But if you can put up with a few rough edges, Parcel promises to give you a ~5x performance increase over webpack. (We kick off multiple processes to do the actual bundling work, and we have an asset cache, which accounts for most of the speedups.)
