Project mention: Integration of Angular, Vue.js and React with .NET: Creating a Modern Web Experience | dev.to | 2024-04-10Immerse yourself in the official Create React App documentation for a deeper understanding.
I am currently utilizing Vite:
Homepage: https://parceljs.org/
Project mention: How, and why, you should add JavaScript linting to your project. With ESLint and Gulp | dev.to | 2024-03-04A little gulp and npm knowledge is beneficial, but not required
Project mention: How to improve page load speed and response times: A comprehensive guide | dev.to | 2024-02-26Many web pages use CSS and JavaScript files to handle various features and styles. Each file, however, requires a separate HTTP request, which can slow down page loading. Concatenation comes into play here. It involves combining multiple CSS or JavaScript files into a single file. As a result, pages load faster, reducing the time spent requesting individual files. Gulp, Grunt, and Webpack are some of the tools that can assist you in speeding up the concatenation process. They enable seamless merging of many files during development, ensuring deployment readiness.
Take a class for which we are tasked to write a unit test. This class may have a dozen methods and a dozen more attributes. In my environment we were already using inversify to dependency inject into this class, and using container snapshot and restore as setup and teardown operators, in our jest test file. But it began getting out of control even after refactoring into test cases and test runners.
Project mention: TypeScript's Successor is Waiting, and You'll Never Want to Turn Back | dev.to | 2024-01-29Under the hood, Rescript uses a build system called Ninja. Ninja is similar to Make, but cross-platform and more minimal/performant.
Project mention: Help Needed with Tauri Desktop App for NFC Card Enrollment on ESP32 | /r/tauri | 2023-08-26For the ESP32 in read mode, we've successfully developed a project using PlatformIO that accepts the key during build time and stores it in memory.

Project mention: Autodafe: "freeing your freeing your project from the clammy grip of autotools." | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-06> Are we talking about the same autotools?
Yes. Instead of figuring out how to do something particular with every single software package, I can do a --with-foo or --without-bar or --prefix=/opt/baz-1.2.3, and be fairly confident that it will work the way I want.
Certainly with package managers or (FreeBSD) Ports a lot is taken care of behind the scenes, but the above would also help the package/port maintainers as well. Lately I've been using Spack for special-needs compiles, but maintainer ease also helps there, but there are still cases one a 'fully manual' compile is still done.
> Suffice it to say, I prefer to work with handwritten makefiles.
Having everyone 'roll their own' system would probably be worse, because any "mysteriously failure" then has to be debugged specially for each project.
Have you tried Spack?

Wouldn't it be more accurate to say something like "older build systems"? I don't think any of the things you listed are "modern". Which isn't a criticism of their legacy! They have been very useful for a long time, and that's to be applauded. But they have huge problems, which is a big part of why newer systems have been created.
FWIW, I have been using pants[0] (v2) for a little under a year. We chose it after also evaluating it and bazel (but not nix, for better or worse). I think it's really really great! Also painful in some ways (as is inevitably the case with any software). And of course it's nearly impossible to entirely stomp out "genrules" use cases. But it's much easier to get much closer to true hermeticity, and I'm a big fan of that.

Not to be confused with Rebar3 [0] which is a de-facto package manager and build tool for Erlang.
