gulp vs Pika Pack: What are the differences?
gulp: The streaming build system. Build system automating tasks: minification and copying of all JavaScript files, static images. More capable of watching files to automatically rerun the task when a file changes; Pika Pack: 📦⚡️ 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.
gulp and Pika Pack can be categorized as "JS Build Tools / JS Task Runners" tools.
gulp and Pika Pack are both open source tools. It seems that gulp with 31.3K GitHub stars and 4.41K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Pika Pack with 1.73K GitHub stars and 23 GitHub forks.
