JavaScript: The Modern Parts
I think today the Javascript ecosystem looks much better than 3 years ago, at the peak of Javascript fatigue.<p>What we had actually was tooling fatigue, and not language features fatigue. Today, with CLI tools like the Angular CLI, we have a ready to use optimized bundle via one out of the box CLI command, so no longer do we have to learn how to configure Gulp or Webpack.<p>I&#x27;m very glad that I decided not to learn Webpack and stick to the CLI, now Webpack is going to be replaced by Bazel transparently, and from a user perspective, nothing changes other than getting an even faster build and a smaller bundle transparently, without having to be a build tools expert.<p>I can now focus on developing the application and not the tooling, which is awesome for me. There are only so many hours in the day and I like to focus my learning budget on what moves the needle most.
