I am so goddamn sick of having to download a giant mess of JavaScript modules just to use a tool to generate something that has nothing to do with nodejs or it's ecosystem.
It's at the point where I'm in full "crotchety old man" mode and forcing myself to build the entirety of my frontends in pure HTML5/ES6/CSS3.
It's quite liberating, actually.
- mamcx 6y agoI hate that too. What sold me the idea is the fact I can use it to heavily reduce the CSS to be exactly what I have used. I wish instead of npm it have a Go or Rust binary. What it need it for is to generate the .css clases and to prune it for size reduction.
