Modernize 2024

[stepankuzmin]

• Switch to ESM
• Switch to NPM instead of Yarn
• Switch to native Node test runner
• Drop the buble compiler and switch to the esbuild
• Drop xtend, use Object.assign instead
• Drop lodash.isequal, use fast-deep-equal instead
• Use vite for the local development
• Update the debug/ page: use GL JS and GL Geocoder from NPM so we can keep them up to date with Dependabot

The minified bundle size dropped from 80K to 68K.

The benchmarks primarily use the previous setup.

Nice! Why do we need ESBuild though if we still use Rollup?

[stepankuzmin]

You are right, we don't need to transpile with esbuild for older browsers anymore 👍

Nice! Something I've been doing recently is also removing tape and nyc in favor of native Node test runner and coverage — see if it makes sense to do so here, but not too important.
