Here is just a joke, "almond" actually refers to the Almond,requirejs author of another Open source project, it is positioned as a substitute for Requirejs.
Usage Scenarios
Under what circumstances do I need to use almond it? Let's say you have a small project based on Requirejs, All business codes add up to dozens of K (which may be smaller after compression). For performance optimization, you may be thinking: if you can get rid of requirejs dependency, after all, Gzip Requirejs also have about 20k (2.1.6 version).
Almond is born for this purpose, the development process, you can continue to use Requirejs to manage your dependencies, and to the packaging on-line stage, replaced by Almond. The almond after gzip is only about 1k, and the optimization amplitude is quite large.
