When reducing dependencies in Svelte projects, I was really surprised how many dependencies the typical glob library has and ended up switching most of the JS ecosystem to tinyglobby once it became available. With one final PR pending, the Svelte ecosystem is nearly free of extra glob dependencies!
tinyglobby is a great success, and has shown us how much we can improve perf for everyone. here's some of the story!
big thanks to @superchupu.dev and @benmccann.com for putting so much work into this and the migrations/adoption. we're lucky to have both in the @e18e.dev community 💙

i feel really proud of seeing how many projects have ended up with less dependecies thanks to libraries switching to projects like tinyglobby ❤️ a blog post is up at the e18e website that talks in detail about its story and success!

in the early days of e18e, i was told not to switch from some packages because "the new alternatives will grow to the same size in the end"
tinyglobby, tinyexec and many others show this is far from the case. would love to see more tools taking a perf focus like this

Some libraries publish sourcemaps with "sources" pointing back to the original but unpublished src files, making it harder to trace errors as the files aren't there to be inspected.
I wrote a script to identify those!
