10:41am] isaacs: hey, i have a question which might seem a bit odd, regarding module naming syntax.
[10:41am] isaacs: all the commonjs implementations map the module name to a file at some point, right?
[10:42am] isaacs: what was the reasoning for not just using a filename or (relative) path?
[10:44am] ashb: dunno - the require() thing was decided before i got invovled
[10:44am] ashb: (i.e. Jan this year)
[10:44am] isaacs: yeah, it was before i got into it, too
[10:44am] isaacs: having worked with nodejs for a while when it just took a filename or url to register a module, it really struck me how much more sensible it was.
[10:45am] _ry: as far as i can search this filename extension issue was only ever brought up by me :)
