Yeah, if 'if's are excluded. That version with those ifs was what was concerning. That actually needs runtime to do the work. I suppose until it doesn't need the runtime, it's all ok.

For that probably dynamic import() is there; and your usage should await for a promise that tries to load one then the other etc. Herby > Usages: > > * Optional dependencies > * Polyfills > > Problems: > > * This can prevent loading modules before execution if presence of > modules can't be proved statically > * else-if requires execution before loading module - can be dropped > > > I don't have enough time and knowledge about modules to write actual > proposal.
