Given that CJS supports limited circular deps & that browserify/webpack have proven effective, what is the "killer app" of ES6 modules?
-
@izs@isntitvacant not if removing that built step will amplify page load latency. built step is easy, people concat js anyway!
@dominictarr http/2 is concurrent and binary, would theoretically make this is a non issue - don't see build steps ever going away tho

@yoshuawuyts you gotta look at the top index.js and parse it to know what to request next. round trips cost more than bandwidth. -
@dominictarr oh yeah, that's completely true - welp, there you have it; ES modules is next level bike shedding - 3 more replies

@yoshuawuyts@dominictarr@izs if we eliminate the build step do we deploy entire node_modules? There is likely a lot of junk in there. -
@yoshuawuyts@dominictarr@izs what if one package, deep down has a XSS vulnerable example page. Maybe even a misplaced PHP file.
