more ideas for cleaning up the project ahead of v3 #1869
Description
related to #665
the ideas ive looked at or started working on are
- migrate from yarn v1 to pnpm
- the main part i would need help with for this is the publishing flow for the repository, since its very easy to miss some part of it
- build with tsdown instead of preconstruct
- replace enquirer with @clack/prompts (Migrate away from
enquirer#1861) - replace @inquirer/external-editor with launch-editor
- update eslint config
- would either remove standard config and just use the recommended rules in each plugin, or move to neostandard
- or i could move it to use oxlint if that sounds interesting
- run knip on the project
- replace micromatch with picomatch or zeptomatch
- replace spawndamnit with tinyexec
let me know which ones sound good and ill revive or start working on them :)

It becomes less and less important nowadays but Preconstruct has some unique features I really like so this one might be a hard sell. That said, Preconstruct does need some love and modernization. There is room for improvement there too
This can be done at any time, I'd focus now on revamps that affect published sources.
I think the other things on your list are pretty OK so I'd probably quickly land PRs addressing those.

just so i can learn, what does preconstruct do that tsdown/other bundlers don't?
i saw
preconstruct devbeing used in places but couldn't tell what the difference would be to just running a build command :^)i'd prioritize pnpm since i don't like using package managers that don't disable postinstall scripts by default and yarn v1 is frozen since 2021.
i do have a branch locally with it done already with the one question being the publishing since i know little about this project's worklows
but if you don't want to look at package management yet i will start on some of the other points

@beeequeue can you merge this into #1945? We can discuss some points in discord if there's some you didn't get consensus on yet.

i added the pnpm migration to v3 as the final topic from here, tsdown will wait for v4 unless plans change
