Node could just do that. `fs` isn't an ES spec, and nor does `importSync` need to be. The blame can't be placed on ESM for this.

- tqwhite 2y agoI agree. The blame belongs to the NodeJS steering committee. It's their failure and it's a big one. The only excuse is that ESM happened during the big Deno Node wars when the community was split, everyone was mad and, apparently making dumb decisions. I read that a new version of NodeJS has revised require() to bring in ESM modules. That's good enough. (I would prefer importSync() for clarity.)
