Ask HN: Is anyone still using Gulp?
So I'm not sure why it seems to me like nobody is using it. I've been using it for years now it works just as good as back then.
So for example take js files
.pipe(transpile).pipe(bundle_split).pipe(sourcemaps).pipe(minify).pipe(hmr).pipe(versioning)...... etc
for css
.pipe(scss_converter).pipe(sourcemaps).pipe(minifier).pipe(hmr).pipe(version)... etc
i've been able to switch different stuff in and out thanks to community always wrapping newer tools as plugin.
like webpack as bundler, typescript/babel transpilers, auto prefixers, etc.
to me this step by step clear build pipeline makes more sense then hardcoded configs.
but gulp seems to be disappearing??
