A comment on Vue.js and Brunch: Webpack Alternative.

Do we still need Webpack when all connections can use HTTP/2 and TLS thanks to LetsEncrypt ?

Webpack does much more than just put all your stuff in 1 bundle. It minifies, it does code splitting (only load what you need, HTTP2 is even a benefit here), tree shaking (remove unsued CSS), it can change your import paths for your convienence and so much more.

Really it can do everything and that's why its so daunting for developers.

You need webpack to actually use a Vue component (template + script + CSS).

You can use Browserify or Rollup too.

Yes, I meant that the OP comment missed a large chunk of webpack use cases, such as compilation of components.

Damn, I see that as unnecessary tight coupling, but a lot of our current technologies have survived that way.

What does that have to do with Webpack?

Instead of serving bundles you can load individual scripts over an HTTP/2 connection and quickly serve only the scripts which are needed.

Ah, but webpack does so, so much more than just bundling.
