I do not believe there is willpower for institutional changes to the javascript ecosystem that exists on timelines of less then 5 years.
Basically I've been dealing with the ESM changes. Add in the TypeScript complexity and all of the sudden I've now spent hours debugging some obscure issue rather than being productive... I've debated moving away from Node.js altogether because of it but there's no real realistic alternatives right now (for frontend development/bundling using React/Remix).
I probably can't do any better, but the whole ESM migration has been completely mishandled. Even more infuriating is the response that things are working _as expected_... Hopefully Deno gains some traction and we can put this all behind us.
Vite Vue + Typescript template run fine in dev mode but could not be built for production, thanks to a combination of an Vue issue and a tsconfig flag.
Node polyfills work on `yarn dev`, but throw "kn.nextTick is not a function" for production build. Apparently I have to use package `rollup-plugin-polyfill-node` instead of `rollup-plugin-node-polyfills`.
Now with all the setting up out of the way, it does feels good to have a dev server starting almost instantly, hot reload and full page reload stay constantly fast. Sometime though hot reload just fails and I had to manually reload the page, or manually remount the component I'm working on (by navigating back and forth) to see the changes.
It also feels like I'm not even using typescript but plain javascript. Vite would happily serve broken code and some errors will only be shown on `yarn build`. I lost a watch compiler essentially.
