The ES6 module system is taking a real beating in the comments section here: https://hacks.mozilla.org/2015/08/es6-in-depth-modules/
People are concerned about things like: - There is no standard way to load any modules at all in the browser. - There is no standard way for a module to load other modules later (lazily, for faster initial load times). - There is no standard way to conditionally load modules. - There is no standard way to catch errors when module loading fails. There's a planned feature that addresses all these use cases: `System.import(moduleSpec, referrer)`. It's possible to make minor changes to HostResolveImportedModule and then specify `System.import` in terms of that. It could ship in the existing compilation-plus-polyfill module system implementations (like webpack) immediately. And it'd be fully compatible with the coming JS Loader Standard. Arguably something this fundamental to module usage belongs in ECMA-262 anyway. What do you think? -j _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
