WarsawJS Talk

ESM and CJS - a history of imports and requires (Lightning Talk ⚡️)

Presented at Meetup #109 Wed, Nov 8, 2023
Location Paramount, ul. Mokotowska 19, Warsaw.

About this Talk

Join me to explore the history of JavaScript's module systems, starting from CommonJS through RequireJS and AMD, and ending with today's ES Modules. We'll examine why these systems were developed, how they differ, and their impact on both browser and Node.js environments. Finally, I'll offer a glimpse into where module handling in JavaScript might be headed next.
