Very cool project, do you know how this compares with Hugo's javascript minifier / bundler?

Hugo uses https://github.com/tdewolff/minify internally, so that’s the relevant comparison.
This supports ES6 modules, which I believe are totally unsupported by Hugo Pipes. I remember being annoyed at having to throw node and webpack into the pipeline just because of that (which slowed everything to a crawl).
Hugo doesn't have a JavaScript bundler, it just lets you concatenate JavaScript files which is different from a JS bundler which needs to support JS modules.
I’d like to know this as well.
