The time line is a little more compressed. I'm somewhat sympathetic. But my heavens, that using the language's official module system is a pain & difficult makes me think we needed to switch harder earlier.
(Also Node simply lacked the courage to try to do what many before them had done, & make cjs/ESM intercompatible: worked great in @std-things/esm but node let themselves get steered into prissily rejecting an obviously fine path for absurd technical minutia).
We gasp & moan the whole time old soggy gross bandaids are being ripped off. We direly need to call shots & make it happen. We need the will.

- rektide 3y agoIs there anything else anywhere that points to this strong bias you have? I have seen one other person bother to comment, in a slightly more sly negative way, counting how many '&'s I used. I obviously dont seem to share the sensitivity, it seems natural to me, and I'm not sure where these feelings & reactions come from.
