Totalyl agree. The lack of a module system in JavaScript has been an enormous benefit to the developer community, because it has allowed us to develop idioms that make sense in the context of JavaScript.

Adopting a hard-coded, python-esque module system is a step backwards from what we have now, and I doubt will be used much, if at all -- why give up features that already exist (and will continue to work)?

sigh



Sure, the top JS language designers in the ES6 group haven't thought of these issues...
