I was going the esbuild route instead of the sucrase one, so that's not a need anymore. Both are viable however, this choice is questionnable. There are the packages from Wojtek in answer to this email that also bootstrap sucrase, so don't bother ;) I feel tests / native-inputs for Node is a bigger issue than the one of bundlers now. > > KR, > - Jelle > -- Best regards, Nicolas Graves
