Drop an unused @babel/runtime dependency #614
Description
Describe the feature you'd like:
Recently, the Ecosystem Performance was formed to cleanup, speedup, levelup the JavaScript Ecosystem.
Socket Security team wrote a blog post about it https://socket.dev/blog/javascript-community-launches-e18e-initiative-to-improve-ecosystem-performance
I noticed that there is a dependency @babel/runtime but I did not find any usage of it. I tried locally to remove it and all tests are passing and build command is working.
This dependency adds around 240kb to node_modules which sounds not that big, but considering that @testing-library/jest-dom has almost 11 million weekly downloads I believe this change will have an impact on the JS ecosystem.
Screenshot is taken from the pkg-size.dev
Suggested implementation:
Remove the @babel/runtime as a dependency.
Describe alternatives you've considered:
As I understand from the docs of @babel/runtime, it should be used on a build stage, so it can be moved to a devDependency if it is actually needed, so end users will not load this to their node_modules on each install.
