Agenda

nodejs/loaders

• import.meta.resolve() whatwg/html#5572
• Add ambient-loader proposal #63

import.meta.resolve

Will suggest to WHATWG:

• We will try to land a PR to move the loaders off-thread, to preserve an async resolve hook while supporting a sync import.meta.resolve.
• The backup plan would be to change our loader hook resolve to be sync, but we’re unsure of the breakage in doing so. Use case discussed is trying to resolve within a .zip or .tar.gz file.

Notes on doing above work:

• Update old Modules WG doc on moving loaders off-thread: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1J0zDFkwxojLXc36t2gcv1gZ-QnoTXSzK1O6mNAMlync/edit#heading=h.iebvrtqfwxvg. It is out of date from rebasing etc.
