Node.js choosing .mjs will likely go down as one of the most shortsided decisions made by their leaders. Reminds me of Python 3.

fwiw "TC39" has no opinion about .mjs.
@littlecalculist,@caridy and I care as node community members. -
specifically, node community members who are early adopters of standard modules.
-
correction: early adopters of syntax transpiled to CJS. Not an implementation.

-
compilers are an implementation, but that point isn't very interesting.
-
papering over the reason there's two bad implementation options is interesting
-
I guess Node as an implementation target isn't a concern for tc39 just browsers?
-
so the transpile proved Node is good at CJS not implementation of esmodules, eh
