yosh

Also implicit strict mode is going to give Node a really hard time. Ambiguity everywhere! - ES mods was def not designed with Node in mind

who do we yell at? is it too late?

believe Node people are in talks with TC39. I'm sure we won't end up with .mjs or something equally ludicrous if it can be helped

(honestly haven't heard a single compelling argument for ES modules in Node in the first place, but hmmm that's probs just me)

people keep on telling me that ES modules will make browser bundles smaller (something something tree shaking)

yeah, that's nonsense - static analysis is possible using `require()` already (as evidenced by browserify doing that for bundling )

does browserify already do this? found https://github.com/substack/node-browserify/issues/1379 …

yeah, the require() tree is traversed and imports are passed in which is needed to create a bundle - otherwise no bundling
