I don’t consider them a problem at all. It’s how browsers have worked for a long time.

My point was at the time when deno came out it was completely different to node with its imports and that meant a lot of existing packages just didn’t work out of the box. That just slowed its traction.

Personally I would have like deno it stick with url imports and not added the npm support.

Ryan set out to “fix” his mistakes with node only to fully embrace them again.
