Which bundler should I use

Tried rollup today. On replit it was REALLY nice to use...

# compile to a <script> containing a self-executing function ('iife')
rollup main.js --file bundle.js --format iife

And this is WITHOUT a config file. Wow!

I still like parcel a lot.

Want to try & inital impressions

  • Astro
  • Parcel
  • Rollup
  • Swc
  • Snowpack - interesting, but changing config was too complex for me. Couldn't figure out changing folder config. Also felt slow.
  • Vite

Most excited about:

  • Vite - Uses html as entry point to go from (like parcel)
  • Parcel

Want to avoid

  • Webpack
