Question: how does this spec become official? #217

Hi, I think this is a great idea, and its nice to see deno already pick up import-maps, but what about browsers and node? How do they adopt this pattern as well? Does this spec have a place in the tc39 proposals?

I think what you're asking is, how do you get implementers to implement the spec? For that, the process varies by implementer.

For Chromium, we're looking to ship this soon; we have it behind a flag, but were delayed in launching it due to COVID shifting some resources around.

For Gecko, their discussion is happening at https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/146.

For Node, I'm aware of a discussion at https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/49443.

I haven't heard anything from WebKit.

Thank you for the info! I assume typescript will follow behind node as well?

Deno has already shipped import maps, under an experimental flag. Documentation at https://deno.land/manual/linking_to_external_code/import_maps

I'm not sure. I was hoping you'd pick up on the pattern of my post, which is, that each individual implementer has their own plans, and you need to ask them individually :).

Got it, I will look into that and see if an issue needs to be created. It could be handy to have an issue tracking the progress in each implementer so devs know where to direct their support in the future. My question is answers though so I will close this issue. Thanks again
