I think we have nothing to discuss? (I'm available if we do)

[aduh95]

There are two things that come to mind:

• how to make registerLoader happen (what the final API should look like, and what are the steps (ideally each step should be as small as possible, so we can delegate some of the work to e.g. first-time contributors looking for ideas on how to contribute)
• how to make CJS loading from the ESM loader happen. I have a draft PR open which is at the POC stage, and I'm not going to complete the work by myself, so unless we're able to dispatch the work async, we could use the meeting time to discuss that. In any case, it would certainly be helpful if everyone interested could pull the PR locally and play with it (and bonus point if someone wants to contribute to testing all the crazy edge cases we'd need to have in mind).

[GeoffreyBooth]

Yes, let’s meet. Along with @aduh95’s list, there’s the issue of getting to work a load look returning source with type: 'commonjs'. @isaacs have you started working on that?

@aduh95 is that issue related to the “make CJS loading from the ESM loader” effort? Or put another way, would finishing your PR solve it?

[aduh95]

Yes, my PR goal is to run the code is a CJS-like environment when the load step returns { format: 'commonjs', source: … }.

[isaacs]

@isaacs have you started working on that?

I haven't started in earnest yet, but have been reading code and it's bubbling up my list swiftly. If @aduh95 or anyone else wants to get started, don't let me hold you back.

@aduh95 Can you share a link to the draft PR? I should have some time to poke at it in advance of the meeting.

[JakobJingleheimer]

I think registerLoader is done in principle (there are just some test cases needed, which I'll get to in a few days if João doesn't get to it first).
