I haven't followed Webpack closely in a while, but we are going to look to integrate it via Rails' Webpacker gem. What's the latest for the project? What pain points from previous versions may have been resolved?

side note: webpacker is great! I've migrated a project from the asset pipeline to it and I would never turn back. Still have to keep the asset pipeline for ActiveAdmin though :(

Webpacker has an awesome set of defaults, I wish it were "language agnostic", a sort of a webpack starter kit.

webpack 3.6 is the latest! We've solved a lot of bugs in regards to Scope Hoisting (ModuleConcatenationPlugin). 3.6.0 is definitely the most stable version of webpack we have so far.

For the rest of the breaking changes we want to land, they will all be pushed into webpack 4.
