TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript that compiles down to plain JavaScript. It offers type checking and is aimed at the development of large applications. While TypeScript provides its own compiler, it serves a slightly different purpose than @babel/cli but overlaps in the sense that both compile code to JavaScript.
Webpack is a static module bundler for JavaScript applications. It processes applications and bundles them into one or more bundles. It can be configured to use Babel through loaders (e.g., babel-loader) for compiling JavaScript. Webpack offers a broader range of functionalities compared to @babel/cli, including bundling, asset management, and optimization features.
Rollup is another module bundler for JavaScript which focuses on the efficiency of the final bundles. Similar to Webpack, it can integrate with Babel to compile JavaScript files. Rollup is often preferred for library development due to its efficient bundling strategy. It provides similar compilation features when used with Babel but is more focused on the bundling aspect.
