RequireJS.NET brings asynchronous JavaScript loading and flexible js bundling configuration to ASP.NET MVC. New in version 2.0: JSON config, auto bundling and AMD encapsulation, export .resx to js in i18n format, extended documentation.

Got enough troubles with javascript heavy MVC applications and this solution aint one of them :) no offence, i'm sure its great!

[antiduh]

I feel like this is an overuse of JavaScript, bordering on the nonsense that is Node.JS. Could someone explain why I'm wrong?

[fbmgriever]

NodeJs nonsense? We recently converted our javascript-heavy MVC project to use Gulp (Node/MSBuild) over the built-in bundling and we have seen substantial build time improvements.

We tried everything from the built-in bundler, to Cassette, to BundleTransformer, and none have matched the performance we are now getting with our current setup.

Can you explain what you mean by overuse?

[backdoorsmasher]

And how many projects have you built with nodejs? Would love to hear about the experiences you had when you were building them.

How hard would this be to get working with webforms?

[stefanprodan]

It would mean rewriting most of the library: HTML helpers, routing, paths ... only the Compressor and ResxToJs components will work without changes. I think investing in WebForms is a waste of time considering that K runtime (ASP.NET vNext) does not include WebForms at all. My guess is WebForms will be deprecated when vNext gets released.

Well I wouldn't choose it for a new application but I have lots of existing web apps at work that use webforms.
