Nowadays there are usually better tools than the process you describe here. For example if you are making a React application you can start off with the `create-react-app` tool. If you're using Vue then `vue create <appname>` is similar. They will take care of the bundling and providing a modern language environment for you.

true, but if you are doing anything more complex you have to change some of the things or ad others, and you end up on the same path as OP, there is no way around learning all this if you intent to build something for production with JS.

i, as a person that writes backend for 3-4 months and then need to do frontend hate the constant changing.
