"JavaScript doesn't need more features; it just needs a couple of small things fixed" - Ryan Dahl

The CommonJS and AMD module syntaxes are unfriendly to each other, requiring boilerplate everywhere, which UMD tries to solve with more boilerplate.

The ES6 module syntax adds new keywords in strict mode, that then depend on a sharply modified cross-origin requests shims, and internal module management. An ES6 Module Transpiler aims to solve the not-yet-supporting environments problem with a source transformation step.

We don't need more syntax like imports x from 'x.js'. We don't need a module keyword that will break QUnit module() or Node.js modules.
