Why is Babel a monorepo?
Juggling a multimodule project over multiple repos is like X.
Babel follows a monorepo approach, all officially maintained modules are in the same repo. This is quite taboo but let's look at the pros and cons:
Pros:
- Single lint, build, test and release process.
- Easy to coordinate changes across modules.
- Single place to report issues.
- Easier to setup a development environment.
- Tests across modules are ran together which finds bugs that touch multiple modules easier.
Cons:
- Codebase looks more intimidating.
- Repo is bigger in size.
- ???
This is dumb! Nobody in open source does this!
React and Ember, among others, do this.
