NOT ON THE CURRENT EDITION
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions, it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today.

Snowpack is an interesting new entrant in the field of JavaScript build tools. The key improvement over other solutions is that Snowpack makes it possible to build applications with modern frameworks such as React.js, Vue.js, and Angular without the need for a bundler. Cutting out the bundling step dramatically improves the feedback cycle during development because changes become available in the browser almost immediately. For this magic to work, Snowpack transforms the dependencies in node_modules into single JavaScript files in a new web_modules directory, from where they can be imported as an ECMAScript module (ESM). For IE11 and other browsers that don't support ESM, a workaround is available. Unfortunately, because no browser today can import CSS from JavaScript, using CSS modules is not straightforward.
