I want to start off by saying that i think ES6 modules are cool and that i
like them.
I think the concern that i have in their current state is that there is to
much "processesing" that needs to be done to make them work with existing
browsers.
While this processing is done with automated grunt tasks, i feel that it
puts to much "extra" code in the library for not that much reward.
and therefore being slower than it should be right? legacy browsers ftw :)
Another concern with the processing is that it adds lots more
development
dependecies. One of which is upgrading to npm 2.0, which wasn't as
straightforward as i was thinking.
ouch
I do want to commend Lukas, for all his hard work on the es6 modules
branch, Good Work My Friend!!
As "developers on the edge"™ we are exposed to new shiny tech that we want
to use right away like modules, AMD, browserfy, etc...
But i wonder about the other 90% and what they are looking for. Do they
even care about AMD, etc...
perhaps not, or not yet - especially when coming from "web development"
for
intranet apps, in traditional shops
I think as a mobile library, we need to not add extra overhead.
+9001
But i think we should keep working on the ES6-modules branch and keep
it
up to date and direct people to that if they would like to try it.
I fully agree - also this is not throwing away work. This was a needed
research, we came to a conclusion: not yet ready; but that does not mean,
we won't be looking at it again, let's say in two years or so. times are
changing fast.
great job, Luke and Lucas!
