This should have a big impact on the "cost of small modules", as outlined here:

Which is to say, one of its most effective use cases will be making up for deficiencies in Webpack, Browserify and RequireJS. Which I'm a little ambivalent about - I wish we could have seen improvements to those tools (it's possible, as shown by Rollup and Closure Compiler) rather than adding another stage to filter our JavaScript through. But progress is progess.




I saw a Webpack example and it looked smaller & faster. So it seems like a good thing.
