Are we ready for javascript without a build step on the front end in 2023?

On the current typescript / anti-typescript internet drama I saw someone mention javascript without a build step.

Do you think we’re already there?

Last time I attempted it:

  • there were too many libraries I couldn’t import
  • JSX (using babel) had a warning saying you shouldn’t do it in the browser for production
  • there was some advice against not using a bundler, because several requests for different .js files is slower and bigger than a bundled package

The real answer to the question you didn’t ask is: just don’t involve yourself in internet drama’s.

Tell me instead, what is the problem with a build step and typescript?

Well it’s an extra step that you’re only doing to address this problem.
