Episode notes

Meteor had the import style syntax, even though it wasn't ESM as its default means of importing from the start. So when I moved the site over to off of Meteor, I moved it first to just a straight up VIT server with react. And that was the ESM base. Now with Svelte and whatever, when I rewrote my API using ES build, I wrote it with ESM from the beginning. It's kind of complicated. You hit, there's a whole bunch of gotchas in the differences between the two. There's lots of different file extensions and whatnot. On top of that, we're not going to talk too much about Type

In this episode of Syntax, Wes and Scott talk through what ESM is, and why you want to move your projects to ESM.
