> Everything old is new again! Parcel embarks on the path that Webpack did
And Webpack embarked on the path that it’s forefathers did.. gulp, babel, browserify, grunt, and others. But that didn’t stop Webpack from improving on what was there.
The core thing Parcel does (or at least did when Parcel was started) that is/was a fundamental improvement over Webpack is parse your index.html (or whatever you name it, of course) to figure out what to do. I always thought Webpack was silly for asking a human to re-describe it’s html dependencies. I haven’t used Webpack in the last year, so I’m unaware if Webpack has fixed this shortcoming.
