It's not just a "virtue signal"; those packages will have to go through some special (and pretty aggressive) transpiling in order to work. This wasn't just flipping a switch from the Deno team
- bartlomieju 4y agoThat's not really what's happening behind the scenes. We are consuming sources as they are provided in npm using "compat layer" that is part of Deno's standard library. We had to provide special module resolution, but besides polyfill for built-in Node APIs, it works very similar to how Node consumes these packages.
- brundolf 4y agoHuh I didn't know about compatibility mode; sounds like a lot of the work had already been done then
- bartlomieju 4y agoYes, this effort started years ago and was ramped up significantly in recent months.
