summary
History moves from manual webpack configs to real zero-config wins: Parcel: install and run actually builds an asset graph and auto-detects loaders, webpack 4 adds a convenient mode but still needs loaders, Poi wraps webpack for a simpler CLI, libraries get near-zero setup with microbundle uses Rollup and Rollup remains lean for ES modules, testing becomes plug‑and‑play with Cypress and Jest, formatting auto-fixed by Prettier, and experimental ML bundlers like GASP predictive bundling use analytics to cluster routes and prefetch code.
