ESM not gaining traction in back-end Node?

  🖍 Terminal string styling done right

  

One of the libraries I used most that went full-ESM is Chalk. They released v5 over a year-and-a-half ago (November 2021) with ESM-only support and haven't updated v4 - their last iteration that supported CommonJS - since. If you go into their GitHub Issues section, you'll see a number of issues raised about CommonJS support, most of which are just responded to with a link to a post they made about switching over. Fair enough. I guess if I had to constantly answer the same question over and over, I might do the same.

  Discontinued Open listings with maps and tags

This is a project (the back-end (./) and the front as well (/client)) where I had to modify one or two imports, to add something like `import('@seald-io/nedb').default`.
