Great read, kudos for using strace to understand what esbuild does! I should do that more often.

This is another reason to favor small and simple tools that do one thing: you can “take it apart” and understand it by using another simple tool. (Simple in a relative sense, e.g. compared to Webpack).

By the way for those who don’t know what strace is, it’s a command line utility that prints out system calls of another process, like opening files or network connections.
