Grunt vs Pika Pack: What are the differences?
Developers describe Grunt as "The JavaScript Task Runner". The less work you have to do when performing repetitive tasks like minification, compilation, unit testing, linting, etc, the easier your job becomes. After you've configured it, a task runner can do most of that mundane work for you—and your team—with basically zero effort. On the other hand, Pika Pack is detailed as "📦⚡️ npm package building, reimagined". @pika/pack connects pre-configured plugins to build and optimize your package for you. Plugins wrap already-popular tools like Babel and Rollup with options already optimized for npm. This lets @pika/pack build your package without much (if any) configuration required on your part.
Grunt and Pika Pack can be categorized as "JS Build Tools / JS Task Runners" tools.
Grunt and Pika Pack are both open source tools. It seems that Grunt with 11.9K GitHub stars and 1.55K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Pika Pack with 1.73K GitHub stars and 23 GitHub forks.
