Description

vue-cli features a modern mode, where modern browsers get JavaScript that uses modern syntax features (which reduces bundle size and possibly performance as well), without losing support for other browsers (which get a legacy bundle instead). It would be great if we could use this for Data Bridge as well.

WARNING: Anyone who wants to replicate this should also be aware of T254261: Don’t minify modern JavaScript in ResourceLoader.
