JSPM VS Buck

> We've been working on some updates that will allow Deno to easily import npm packages and make the vast majority of npm packages work in Deno within the next three months. This is really huge and will be a huge boost to the Deno ecosystem. On the other hand, I quite enjoyed that it wasn't jacked into NPM. There were reasonable alternatives like https://jspm.org/. This is a big swing at Node and I'll be watching... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

But I really want to make it clear that I'm so incredibly proud of this project and the people who have contributed to it. Snowpack meaningfully pushed the entire web development industry forward, and that's pretty cool. Even if you never use Snowpack directly, the work that we pioneered around npm package handling for ESM is already being built on and improved on across the entire web tooling landscape in... - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago
