exclude it.
Whatever the state of the document is, making its status clear (in the spec itself) would be great.
Thanks, I'll exclude it! I was hoping that the spec itself (https://whatwg.github.io/loader/) would say something about its status, as certainly I would never go looking at the GitHub repo looking for such information.
I was recently pointed to https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/3161 , which is an attempt to define mappings to allow bare specifiers. That in particular is the use case I'm hoping to see advanced, so I can make use of some of the half-a-million modules in the browser.
That thread also linked to another older general discussion thread on request hooks, https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/2640
I've been told that it's completely abandoned. The repository's dates would reflect this.
Last I heard, @caridy is concentrating on Realms as that's needed before they can proceed with this: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-realms
part of this is now solved by import()
and imports map. the other part will be feed into the realms proposal.
I noticed when playing with https://foolip.github.io/day-to-day/ that Loader hasn't had any activity in the last 8 weeks, and in fact there is no directory in web-platform-tests. I'm wondering if I should exclude it or not.
I don't know this space very well, but is this something that would be implemented in JS engines, or on top of them? Is there any implementer interest?
