Moving from Gulp to Parcel

Ben Frain just made some notes about the switch from Gulp to Parcel, a relatively new "web application bundler" which, from a quick look at things, is similar to webpack but without all the hassle of setting things up. One of the things I’ve always disliked about webpack is that you kinda have to teach it what CSS, HTML and JS are before making whatever modifications you want to those files. However, Parcel does a lot of the asset management and configuration stuff for us which is super neat — hence, Parcel claim that it requires “zero configuration.”

If you’d like to learn more about Parcel then there’s a great post by Indrek Lasn that details how to get started and even shows off a little bit about how Parcel is often faster than alternatives like webpack. We also just published a post by Kingsley Silas that explains how to use Parcel with React.
