Front-End Workflows with Gulp
summary
Compares Gulp and Grunt with concrete claims: Gulp favors code over configuration, uses stream-based piping to avoid constant file I/O (example: concatenate + sass compile + minify becomes roughly three reads and one final write instead of many reads/writes), and gains speed via Node’s orchestrator for concurrency. Demonstrates compiling Sass, CoffeeScript, Jade, building a simple static-site generator (~100 lines) that works with live-reload/browser-sync, and lists plugins like gulp-concat, uglify, plumber and gulp-load-plugins (~800 plugins available).
