Build system - Githubissues

silverwind commented 7 years ago

Regarding a build system, I see two possibilties:

Upside: A lot of work can be handled by plugins.
Downside: Streams can complicate simple tasks.
Downside: Some tools like Perfectionist don't have have a gulp plugin.
Downside: Can't easily work around plugin bugs.
Hand-crafted Node.js build script
Upside: Maximum Flexibilty.
Downside: Might have to write a bit more code.

I don't really consider Grunt anymore at this point, it just seems so alien when it comes to configuration declaration and the way plugins interact.

Hand-crafted scripts are so the way to go. I do not see any reason why anyone should use Gulp or Grunt at all.

Hell, Gulp and Grunt have given me more problems than any kind of hand-crafted script.

Yeah, I think that is also the way to go.

Okay, I'll get started on something soon, probably next weekend.
