I want a programmatic bundler/library that lets me write some kind of bundle.ts file to do the things I need, nothing more. I hate the JS ecosystems reliance on DSLs and JSON config files, give me low level tooling.

I haven’t used it at work yet so part of my good luck could be the simplistic nature of what I was using it with, but the project was certainly at the “this is a useful production-grade thing” level, and I know what I’d have to do to get there with Webpack, and it’s far from “nothing”. I appreciate the desire for low-level tooling, especially given how rocky it’s been for the past decade. I’m very cautiously optimistic about the chances of the ecosystem, esp. browser functionality, soon getting to the point where getting one’s hands dirty with this stuff only makes sense in esoteric cases.
