No, `.mjs` is not a Python 3-like split

Seen a few tweets on this. I want to dispel some FUD.

Node is probably going to introduce a new file extension for JavaScript modules, .mjs. The reasons for this are long and perilous, and trying to summarize the discussion that led to it is maddening. The short version is that ES6 modules have different semantics from existing scripts, and need to be executed differently. In browsers, this is done with <script type="module">. In Node, this will be done by analyzing the file extension of the imported file.

I'll be honest: I don't love this solution! I was rooting for the TC39 counter-proposal. But I also understand the solution that the Node developers chose, and why they chose it.

The new file extension is a good enough solution. You can read the [draft spec](https://github.com/nodejs/node-eps/

General

Templates written a giant string in components.

This tutorial demonstrates this: https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/tutorial/toh-pt1.html you don't get syntax coloring, or any benefits you'd get from a good html/templating tool.

(( flashbacks to inline html strings in C++ ))

Tag bloat with ngDirectives (such as ngFor)

Why I think Webpack is the right approach to build pipelines

(I've reposted this on my blog, which you may find more pleasant to read: http://devlog.disco.zone/2016/06/01/webpack/)

I was asked on Twitter why I think Webpack is the right approach to build tooling in JavaScript applications. My explanation is, uh, a bit longer than fit in a single tweet.

When I say "right approach," I'm specifically talking about the way Webpack's pipeline functions. There are certainly some deficiencies in various aspects of Webpack: it has a rather unintuitive API, and often requires quite a bit of boilerplate to set up. However, even with these issues, I think the core principles of how Webpack functions are sound.

I should also mention here this argument basically applies to SystemJS as well. I'm skeptical of various aspects of SystemJS, but I've only taken a very surface-level look at it, so I'm gonna withhold judgement until I've had a chance

Nucleus

Nucleus is a plain-text editor hidden in a bookmarklet. It is fully responsive and supports all HTML5-supporting browsers. Nucleus is ultra-lightweight - it doesn't support any formating at all and saves itself along with your files when you save it. You can save Nucleus documents in PDF format by utilising the print-to-PDF functionality of your browser. It is also fully customizable and open-source - simply change the source code.

Requirements

An HTML5 compliant web browser
