@prologic@twtxt.net I’m relying on vanilla JavaScript most of the time (even when using frameworks) to not have too much dependencies and lately I found that the type="module"
works quite well for most of my needs so I’m dropping almost everything, instead of nom and other i rely on skypack for the libraries.
If you need something bigger but still lighter try snowpack, it uses CDN until you build by optimizing the disk space too.
If anything look bleak try pnpm for a more standard experience of the tooling.
