Sometimes I think I know everything that I need to know about web dev, but then I read something like this and learn about new features that I didn't know of.
I hope they think about deprecating some features or slowing down on adding features. Letting developers rely on transpilers is great way to keep the core language simple while letting people do anything they want.
It's true, but for any serious project, you set up tool chains for utilizing those files in pipelines for local servers, commit hooks, and build steps.
Things like linters, unit tests, and rules-based code standards would also be included. Development environments have gotten increasingly complicated because CPU time is cheaper than Dev time.
