I know this will never happen until at least ES9 (and this is highly
optimistic) because of compat issues, but I was thinking: would separating
the core standard library into modules be a good idea?
I have a repo containing my idea in a little more detail here (
This was originally a part of the modules design but was cut due to timing.
You can find what did exist on the topic here:

I know this would break a lot of backwards compatibility completely, so this
is purely hypothetical, and I expect this to not have a realistic chance
anytime soon.

'with' to whither away
Rats, my fingers betrayed my punning brain.
We could hope for 'with' to wither away. Or 'whith' to whither away.
Gonna pronounce `with` using voiced glottal fricative from now on.

@Brendan I'm aware of that pattern. For now, I'm more concerned about the
option of modules. It would be nice to import the standard library features
you need, and if, for some reason, one of the API natives get overwritten,
you have a fallback.

Transitioning the native API to modules is more of a proposed long term
goal of this proposal. It'll take years to fully realize.

With libraries like Knockout utilizing 'with', I'm not sure it'll go away
anytime soon.
Also, withering works in two directions - we now have '__proto__' everywhere.

Adding monocle mustache to a future ES might help with getting rid of it. ;)

Not deprecated -- any reason you brought it up in the context of 'with'?

True, and I don't see a shortcut. Do you?

My point was that I don't believe that putting the standard library in modules
would help with people using the current library. Even in 5 years.
I mentioned __proto__ as an example for something that didn't go away although

Until modules are shipping in engines we will have to continue to add
globals.

Honestly, I think an interim solution makes the most sense. Perhaps as
simple as a single namespace for adding new standard lib
