What Hacker News says?
For those interested in this topic, I worked on improving dead code elimination in js_of_ocaml [1], a compiler from OCaml to JavaScript. The problem is more difficult in that case because of the indirection of OCaml's higher-order modules (functors). [1]: https://www.micahcantor.com/blog/js-of-ocaml-dead-code/

HN discussionI recently rebuilt my site with Parcel + React Server Components. RSC are designed to solve many of the same problems that Astro does. And Parcel is “just” a bundler and not a framework, so it has less magic and gives you more control. https://micahcantor.com/blog/rsc-rewrite.html
