Whenever I encounter a really strongly-worded, abrasive opinion like this I look for context. Does anyone know what relationship the author has with the ESM standardization process? Did they offer feedback that was dismissed by TC39? If so, I might be able to empathize with someone who feels that they have been left out or unfairly treated. Otherwise I think the tone distracts from the substance of the article and is also a lousy way to talk about others’ good faith efforts to move JS forward.
