Rather that the context of loading the code determines the parsing method. I believe that the current status is that the standard describes the two parsing methods but says nothing about when they will be applied. We do know that <script> tags always parse as Script. Of course, modules imported by import statements are parsed as Module. Sadly, as far as I know, there is no standard way to import a ES2015 root module. The discussions on modules imply that there will be an explicit "loader" import function that will parse as Module and there has been discussion of <script type="module"> and <module> but these proposals are moving slowly if at all. > > _______________________________________________ > es-discuss mailing list > es-discuss@mozilla.org > https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss >
