@lorenzofox3 This allows to reduce startup time. Node does not spend a time to resolve dependencies. Also dependencies may have a lot of unused stuff which increases node_modules size.
See the difference of package size https://packagephobia.now.sh/result?p=acorn https://packagephobia.now.sh/result?p=esm
@TrySound Thanks, it indeed makes sense for a module loader :)
I see the package bundles some of its dev dependencies (acorn at least if I am not wrong). I am curious to know whether there is a technical reason or is it more for "marketing" (and write "zero dependency" in the readme) ?
Thanks
