A fundamental problem in the JavaScript ecosystem is mixing up source files and "binary" (optimized, minified) files. URL imports seem like a bad move because they can point to either.
Sourcemaps help somewhat, but even with Deno, when using an IDE, the source you want is often in another castle. You might get minimized code or type definitions.
Contrast with the Go system which rarely has this problem. Following imports goes to source.
