The biggest upside of Parcel to me is not speed (though that's a nice bonus). What I like the most about it is the fact that literally all I need to use it is run `parcel public/index.html` and it'll figure out the technology I'm using and just work.
Both in React and Elm, it's made the friction of starting a new app much more tolerable, considering now I don't need to bring all the baggage that `crate-react-app` and the likes carry. Thank you!
- alephu5 5y agoI used it when I was getting into frontend development, after years in the backend, and loved parcel for this reason. Webpack struck me as lunacy. Unfortunately nowadays I work with create-react-app or Gatsby because parcel gives me huge bundles, or breaks with tree-shaking on. Really excited about parcel 2 though, I tried the alpha and it didn't work for me but hopefully this does.
