A lot can be said about js tooling but honestly it works good once it is set up. Most modern js tooling provides --watch flags and hot module reloading. Vite is one popular option. Just save one file and the change instantly takes effect in the browser, even on a large project. Never seen any makefile based c++ project come close to that experience.
- t43562 3y agoI'm glad you had success. It wouldn't be difficult to do that with inotify to run make when a file changed. OTOH with webpack and transpiling and various other things I have watched people in my company take quite a long time to see a single change. I think they haven't sorted out the build right and I'm not enough of a javascript expert to do it for them. They prioritise various features over productivity and I think that's a mistake.
