Steal js is written on top of system.js (https://github.com/systemjs/systemjs) loader, but
does it really give something so valuable to use opinionated
standalone tool?
I'm just exploring the option. Why not use system.js without
steal.js for user?
1) Plugins for types (stache, ejs, can be written in standalone
manner and installed via bower for example)
2) Build. There is also flexible tool for build that allows
custom build configuration https://github.com/systemjs/builder including
shared packages.
UPD: The build tool has not build-in css build support, but will
in few weeks.
3) Progressive loading, I din't try but surely using custom
build and some configuration It can implemented.
4) Steal format. Well its good to have support for migrating
from old apps and working directly with development version of
can.js, but it not crustal feature and can be easily avoided.
What are the considerable
reasons to use steal.js but not just system.js?
