Historique du projet

Sam Thor published Kuto publicly with a March 2024 explanation of the idea: split a built JavaScript bundle into a main file plus cacheable corpus files, then reuse unchanged corpus code across later builds. The README says the `kuto info` command came first as a way to inspect ES modules for side effects.

Historique d'adoption

Kuto is a niche web-performance tool rather than a mainstream bundler replacement. Its own documentation frames it as a final pass after another bundler and asks users for real-world results, which matches a young experimental tool.

Modes d'utilisation

The CLI is used after bundling: `kuto split` reads a large ESM output file, writes a main part plus static corpus files, and can use previously generated output as the old corpus for later builds.

Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

Kuto is interesting to package and web-build-system nerds because it reverses the usual bundling assumption. Instead of making one fresh optimized artifact per build, it tries to preserve previously shipped code as a reusable cache dictionary.

Chronologie

• March 2024: Maintainer published the reverse-bundler write-up and linked it from the project README.
• Initial design: `kuto info` originated as an ES module side-effect inspection command before the split workflow.

Related projects

• Kuto is designed to run after conventional JavaScript bundlers, and its README demonstrates a release process that uses esbuild before and after Kuto.
