A) no I don’t because it’s not “compiling” anything B) learn the meaning of things before you try to sound knowledgeable about them C) switching off Browserify sped up bundling by 200% on my development build and about 500% on my production build. You’re doing something wrong.

Yeah I mean possibly, but I'm a programmer, not a javascript tool yak shaver. I want to get work done not learn the ins and outs of "webpack".

Of other tools get me their more quickly and simply then I'm going to use them.

Transpiling is a type of compiling.

Yes, transpilers are source-to-source compilers. However bundlers aren't transpilers.

They can use transpilers (ie, in webpack with babel-loader). But they aren't them.
