Earlier this week Parcel got dropped and it received quite some attention, because it tackles two important things when compared to other bundlers such as Webpack:
The first reason I was motivated to build a new bundler was performance. I’ve worked on some pretty large apps with thousands of modules, and was always disappointed with the speed of existing bundlers. Large apps can take minutes to build, which is especially frustrating during development.
The second reason I built Parcel was to help with the pain of managing configuration. Most other bundlers are built around config files with lots of plugins, and it is not uncommon to see applications with upwards of 500 lines of configuration just to get things working. […] Parcel is designed to need zero configuration: just point it at the entry point of your application, and it does the right thing. Parcel has out of the box support for JS, CSS, HTML, images, file assets, and more — no plugins needed.
