wow... that's fascinating. in hindsight, it makes perfect sense, but I honestly never thought about this.
I just tested this with an Angular project, created a production build as I had it (using barrel files), then went through and removed them, adjusting my imports accordingly, and the production build I made afterwards is substantially smaller! like.. 752.86 kB before down to 186.11 kB afterwards! honestly did not expect that much of a difference.
my work laptop is horrifically underpowered, to the point that it doesn't even handle ESlint checking things in the background while I code.. it seems like Biome doesn't kill it as badly though, so I'm definitely going to tell it to throw things at me if I try use barrel files again!

thanks for sharing this.. :)
quick follow up here: the e18e website "Resources" page conveniently provides a direct link to Biome's
noBarrelFilelint rule.Woow!! What an extraordinary result, @zalithka!! 😮 We are also getting nice results where I have been working.
How about the unit tests, have you noticed any improvement?
Thanks for sharing your amazing results and Biome (I have heard about it before, I will explore)!
