Peeking at sparks.land I see that you're serving .ts files, I assume that's what you mean by using sucrase, you're transpiling "live" instead of building/deploying bundles offline?

I notice your script files are all pretty small, have you run into any upper limits on performance or scalability so far with this approach?

Correct! In production we've got Cloudflare in the middle, so we're only using sucrase on-the-fly for each .ts file during development. So far it's unnoticeable in terms of loading times.

Not that I can tell. But if we need to, we can always do a minified bundle in production later on. So far it's just nice to not have to even think about it!

Wait, so you're running Sucrase in a Cloudflare Worker?

It compiles, and then caches the output I assume?

That's a really cool use case I hadn't thought of..

Not quite, I'm running Sucrase on my Deno HTTP server: if the extension is ".ts", I put the file through sucrase before serving it as text/javascript. In development, it happens every single time I reload (and it's fast enough that I don't even notice). In production, Cloudflare requests the .ts file from my server once (triggering sucrase), and then caches it.
