Nice Post!
but i wonder if the statment :
"Note that while importing something from the file, we don't need to add the .js extension to the filename as it's considered by default." is completely true.

All the time i use imports without ext the browsers complain, so i have to use a file extension. Which usually is .mjs so it is easier to distinguish modules.

@akman If you're using any module bundler like webpack which React.js uses then you don't need to include the .js extension as it's optional. If want to use Es6 Import-export syntax inside Node.js then you may need to add .mjs extension as by default Node.js supports commonJS syntax and not ES Module syntax.

probably… but i use native JavaScript modules and not bundlers so i have to use extensions
