yosh

(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

maybe I've misunderstood? e.g. https://gist.github.com/noffle/4a1fa04601d24a99d95af38f6fcc26b7 … doesn't cull the unused exports

that is correct. Browserify doesn't, but it could (!) - I mean it more like this: https://gist.github.com/ 

ah; misparsed you -- thought you were saying it already happened
