Yarn and web brick

Yeah. I think that all of this exists. We just need to glue it together.

SASS support might come from C-bindings into libsass, which might have slightly different compatibility than ruby sass.

CoffeeScript might require just deferring to node or npm package for it.

Image transformation is just one of a few libraries: imagemagick, GraphicsMagick, optipng, etc.

I assume the idea is to have an alternative to the rails asset pipeline, at least in part?

Webpack already exists as a feature rich solution with a big ecosystem. Instead of attempting to reinvent the wheel, why not look at ways to integrate webpack as seamlessly as possible in crystal projects.
