The anti-TC39 sentiment was never mine. I have had frustrations with it as with most committees, but that’s normal. A vocal minority of node users were assumed by some to speak for the project (1 of my frustrations). However, I believe esm is very good, if still incomplete…

Node has dropped the ball with mjs and --experimental-modules, but that ball can still be picked up. The “esm” module is an implementation that does the right thing for both platforms. What’s remaining is to implement top level module identifiers (ie, packages) in a browser…

I also dislike jsx but I agree that the right approach is to recognize this is doing something people want that isn't satisfied by the platform yet. I prefer Vue.js' approach to templating and it's a lot easier to see something like it in the platform compared to jsx.

Sorry, I did not intend to presume that you aren’t interested in evaluating it, only that I think it’s a worthwhile angle for standards bodies to explore.
