Sorry for barging in... :)
So for the file extensions, since you use babel, I found this plugin useful - https://www.npmjs.com/package/babel-plugin-module-extension-resolver
(Not affiliated, not the author, just a user to solve the same file-extension madness in https://github.com/polkadot-js/dev/blob/master/packages/dev/config/babel-plugins.cjs#L26)
@jacogr - thanks for the feedback. This issue is about removing the dependency of Babel to ES modules on Node.js natively. Everything works correctly in its current state.
Node.js now supports ES Modules. We should support it by exporting both CommonJS and ES modules as outlined in this article and this one.
I attempted this and got pretty far until I reached a blocker in which you need to explicitly define file extensions in the Node.js implementation as described in this issue (see below).
Allowed
Not allowed
Once this issue is addressed in Node.js, we can proceed with this support.
