I have nearly no experience with ESM, can you please explain why this is needed?

@jessetane can you run npm install so the lockfile is also updated?

The CORS policy for scripts loaded with type=module is different. So unlike regular scripts they will not load from the file-ystem directly. For example, if I open up one of the recently converted files in the debug section I get the following error:

Ou ok thank you ... now i like it even less 😄

agree with you @Falke-Design that not being able to load modules directly from the filesystem is annoying... does anyone know why this limitation exists? i assume there is a good reason but it's not immediately obvious to me and it didn't jump out on a quick glance at the spec. see also: whatwg/html#8121. maybe this will change in the future?

the arguments there are pretty esoteric, not sure i can fully grasp them without more study but i guess i still prefer being forced to use an http server than non-standard build tools

It is what it is, having a HTTP server running is not the end of the world 😉
