I'm trying to figure out how worlds based on current modules ecosystem
would work ...
```js
let
path = require('path'),
lib = require(path.join(__dirname, 'lib/index.js'))
;
```
How even in an ES2015 world would that look like?
Putting async/await everywhere doesn't seem like a real answer ... or does
it?
