Pingy CLI vs Webpacker: What are the differences?

What is Pingy CLI? The Simple Front End Build Tool. Gulp and Grunt and other heavyweight build tools are great for complicated build workflows. Sometimes you want something simpler that doesn't take lots of configuration to get up and running. That's Pingy CLI.

What is Webpacker? Use Webpack to manage app-like JavaScript modules in Rails (by Rails). Webpacker makes it easy to use the JavaScript preprocessor and bundler Webpack to manage application-like JavaScript in Rails. It coexists with the asset pipeline, as the purpose is only to use Webpack for app-like JavaScript, not images, css, or even JavaScript Sprinkles (that all continues to live in app/assets).

Pingy CLI and Webpacker can be categorized as "JS Build Tools / JS Task Runners" tools.

Pingy CLI and Webpacker are both open source tools. It seems that Webpacker with 4.29K GitHub stars and 893 forks on GitHub has more adoption than Pingy CLI with 391 GitHub stars and 14 GitHub forks.
