Looks like esbuild is shaping up to be just the thing we need, and wow is it fast! Still ned to figure out how to get it to not mangle the index.html filename, but still!

## FAQ
|
|
|
|
### Q: I see a scary native binary build system in the development dependencies!
|
|
A: You're probably referring to [esbuild](https://esbuild.github.io/). If you install systemquery from npm, the build steps for the client-side javascript will already have been completed, thereby negating the need to install a native binary.
|
|
|
|
The advantage of using a build system for the client-side browser resources is significantly improved performance. With this approach, we get the benefit of a build system without needing to install a native binary on target machines which might be incompatible with the host machine's CPU architecture.
