People are always asking for code signing, really curious to see how they react to this one.

incorrect. `await` is a reserved word only in async contexts, the UI thread event loop still runs while `await`ing.

top level await is only possible in grammar w/ `await` as a reserved word. This is limited to Modules (type=module) and async functions. You can't put it in your click handler or random Script like the examples you gave.

`await` allows the event loop/job queue to run while waiting. However, while using `import` declarations , your module will not run until all imports have completed; this means that your module will be suspended while the dependency a

We looked at several alternative extensions and it was the least egregious of them: https://github.com/nodejs/node-eps/blob/master/002-es6-modul...

There is a pretty epic thread that I suggest you just read the tail end of https://github.com/nodejs/node-eps/pull/3#issuecomment-21476... . Basically we tried detection via source code as the first proposal;

ES2015 did not include a loader specification, only a module specification. https://github.com/nodejs/node-eps/blob/master/002-es6-modul... is the interop that will be present for node but it is outside

const can be used to denote that a reference to the variable is being passed around and should not change for the lifetime of a scope. function f() { const queue = []; consumer(queue); return queue; } It could

Once again, these limitations are not with Windows itself (see all the C++ Unicode file functions / file longpaths). In general Node supports long paths just fine (you can watch `npm` write past the 260 [wtf?] char limit). The limitati

Node uses the Unicode functions so no need, but lots of tools in windows break (cmd.exe notably) so things like child processes don't work on long filepaths. You can actually watch `npm` write to files past the limit by using the Unico
