JavaScript import maps are now supported cross-browser
This downloads the ESM version of Observable Plot from the jsDelivr CDN, figures out its dependencies, downloads them as well (40 files total!) and rewrites their imports to be local, not CDN paths.
More details here: https://simonwillison.net/2023/May/2/download-esm/
I'm not considering adding import maps support: https://github.com/simonw/download-esm/issues/4

LuaX: A Lua Dialect with JSX
JSX is useful not just for advanced string interpolation but for representing/generation of tree alike structures / literals in PL. JSX is not only about HTML but XML too.
I don't know how JSX is made in LuaX but in my QuickJS fork [1] JSX allows to generate as tree literals as procedure calls (JSX(tag,props,kids)) that can be used for various purposes - DOM population, VDOM generation, HTML/XML string composition, etc.
And being embedded into a compiler JSX a) prevents common mistakes like non-closed tags and b) effective internalization ( translation happens at compile time once ).

JavaScript import maps are now supported cross-browser
In Sciter I did just that - JSX is an integral part of JS compiler - patched version of QuickJS : https://gitlab.com/c-smile/quickjspp/-/blob/master/quickjs-j...
So in Sciter this works out of the box:

The miracle of Smalltalk’s become: (2009)
Only when code tries to access props/methods of the loaded object it gets fetched from disk, its __proto__ is set to particular class, etc.
More on this architecture: https://gitlab.com/sciter-engine/sciter-js-sdk/-/blob/main/d...
Patched QuickJS with storage support is here: https://gitlab.com/c-smile/quickjspp - it uses DyBase of Konstantin Knizhnik as a storage.
What are some alternatives?
