Not sure what's more impressive. You holding out for years for this feature or Deno's implementation.

- nikisweeting 4y agoIt was kind of a show-stopper missing feature if you had a large JS project with many NPM dependencies that you wanted to migrate slowly to Deno. I was not their target demographic before, but I'd guess this means things are changing as they want to scale and gain mass adoption, which sometimes takes bending principles to build a better compatibility and transition UX. For the record I'm really not asking them to favor package.json or even document it that well, they should still push new users towards the awesome Deno principles that get the industry away from NPM dependency hell. I just think compatibility layers are important for mass adoption, and don't necessarily imply Deno is "compromising" on their principles.
