webpack
A bundler for javascript and friends. Packs many modules into a few bundled assets. Code Splitting allows for loading parts of the application on demand. Through "loaders", modules can be CommonJs, AMD, ES6 modules, CSS, Images, JSON, Coffeescript, LESS, ... and your custom stuff.
From a developer experience perspective, it's worth noting that Next.js was built using webpack for bundling, which has struggled to maintain performance. Therefore, when changing something in the code, reload times can be very slow. For this reason, the Next.js team has been working on getting full compatibility on its own bundler, Turbopack. As of Next.js 14, Turbopack is still considered beta but is much faster than the default experience with webpack.

Sounds similar to my personal history of adopting StandardJS (https://github.com/standard/standard) as soon as it appeared, doing the same at the org I was at the time. Based on memory, seems StandardJS appeared before prettier in the ecosystem?
Still to this day I just use standard when starting a new project, not even sure what the difference against prettier is, it's more or less the same as far as I can tell but maybe faster?

Prototype-based inheritance is widely supported across modern browsers. However, older browsers (IE < 11) may have inconsistencies or performance issues. core-js (https://github.com/zloirock/core-js) provides polyfills for missing or buggy features, including Object.create() and prototype-related methods. Babel can be configured to transpile modern JavaScript code to older versions, ensuring compatibility. Feature detection using typeof or in operators can be used to conditionally apply polyfills only when necessary.
