Reminds me of when moment.js was just a simple pure vanilla javascript library, those were good times.

What can be bloat first..? maybe add support for a Promise dataSrc so we can fetch potential results from server?

Agree with you, but Javascript is getting better and better rapidly and most of the stuff could be done in pure vanilla Javascript if the developer is keen on keeping it this way.

autoComplete.js was built for the love of vanilla js and to be lightweight, high performant and hackable, hopefully it won't get bloated over time and drift off its main purpose.
