His original prediction about 2029 (or say 2039 or whatever near term) doesn't seem impossible anymore. I'd rate the prediction as impressive - given that it was made way before the current AI boom.

ES Modules are better in every way. But I do believe they got the syntax wrong - should have been "from fs import { readFile }" so that auto-complete works. Python got that right, but that's the only thing Python got right

IMO, it's the best thing to happen to Node. It (kinda) unifies browser and server syntax, and across competing server-side JS frameworks (Node, Deno, Bun). CommonJS was clearly a NodeJS thing. We embraced ESM a couple of years back. It

Thanks for the honest pricing, and letting people own your software. I have an iPhone 11 with which I probably can't make the best use of Kino, but I bought anyway just to support you guys.
