The transition from traditional web development to using bundlers like webpack and Parcel has introduced significant wait times for developers due to the need for recompiling and rebuilding large sections of code with every minor change. This issue, coupled with JavaScript's inherent browser compatibility, has spurred interest in unbundled development, which eliminates these delays by leveraging native ES Modules and tools like @pika/web. This approach focuses bundling only on dependencies, significantly improving development speed while maintaining compatibility with modern browsers. However, challenges remain in handling npm packages that rely on Node.js environments, as well as ensuring compatibility with legacy browsers, prompting a hybrid model where bundlers may still be employed for production environments. Emerging tools and CDNs are beginning to address these issues, suggesting a future where developers can choose between bundled and unbundled setups based on their specific needs and the capabilities of their user base.
