Modern SPAs without bundlers, CDNs, or Node.js
Sigh... Another post like this. Sure, it works well enough for the example shown in the article, but won&#x27;t work well beyond this. Bundlers, package managers and other tools were created to address problems people saw in medium-large projects for websites with a lot of traffic. And as soon as the project has dozens of files and even just two or three external libraries, this becomes unmaintainable. Not to mention minimizer&#x2F;TypeScript&#x2F;Babel etc that are important for development or distribution.<p>(Did I mention that import maps was only supported in only Firefox 3 months ago?)<p>People think they are smart and come up with ideas nobody thought of before. &quot;This seems so simple, why don&#x27;t people use this?&quot; I&#x27;m sorry, that&#x27;s not the case here. I have been doing web development as a hobby and professionally for well over a decade and have seen too much of this.
