Nice job chris, esbuild looks highly promising for TypeScript backends, though it not seems to ready for most frontend (webpack) related tasks yet.

Hey Mario :wave: . Thanks, and yeah - esbuild does looks interesting and promising! It's stunningly fast, which is a real pleasure. And it has a pretty versatile plugin API for extensions.

Too bad that hot module replacement is not implemented in esbuild (see #97). One of the things I really appreciate in webapp bundlers. Here are the webpack HMR docs for reference.
