Question to all concerned who are creating these tools that bundle: How do you handle dependencies in purely client-side code? I built a little library that uses transitive reduction along with a manifest file that lists all known dependencies for each of the browser-side scripts, so for example jQuery gets loaded before jQueryUI. My library also makes sure that no file is referenced twice, but that all dependencies are fulfilled before compressing the result and sending it to the browser. I'd like to just switch over to using Browserify, but so far it doesn't seem like I can use libraries for GUI development easily with this library without a bunch of (!isServer) checks.
