Bare specifiers has been the tragedy of ESM. Nice module syntax... that is utterly u deoyable & which has had to have awful de-modularizing specifiers hard-coded into each file to make it work. Abominable sin to introduce "modules" to JS/es2015 then spend a decade dragging everyone along with no story for how to have modular modules. Import-maps are like "here" to fix this on the web... finally... except they only are shipping to the happiest sunniest easiest case, with Web Workers being totally shit out of luck in spite of some very simple straightforward suggested paths forward. https://github.com/WICG/import-maps/issues/2 https://github.com/WICG/import-maps/issues/2 I think Deno is making pretty good tradeoffs along the way here. This looks like package.json at surface level, but there is a nightmare of complexity under the surface. Typescript, ESM, cjs all have various pressures they create & in Node it's just incredibly tight & tense dealing with packaging, where-as Deno's happy path of Typescript first does not slowly tatters one over time. It really has been super pleasant being free of the previous world, and having something much more web-platform centric, more intented, with less assembly & less building, and more doing the actual coding. I confess I'm a bit surprised by this tack. The duplicate module issue felt somewhat solveable my offering more http urls... https://deno.land/std@0.179.0/uuid/mod.ts https://deno.land/std@0.179.0/uuid/mod.ts could be turned to https://deno.land/std@0/uuid/mod.ts https://deno.land/std@0/uuid/mod.ts to pick just the major version. Also notably these un-pinned imports are going somewhat the opposite direction from hopefully upcoming work on subresource integrity in import-maps, where we we can really pin versions, https://github.com/WICG/import-maps/issues/221 https://github.com/WICG/import-maps/issues/221 I really hope import-maps eventually get broader support. Maybe this long-dwelling webworker issue should be brought up with WinterCG.
