Nice article. Just wanted to point out that while all you said works alright on the frontend, on Node things get more complex.

For example, your very first sample code fails: runkit.com/dalmo3/whatisthis

I used to think it was all the same, then yesterday struggled for a couple of hours before finding out about the module wrapper, exports, global etc.

Hello Dalmo,

That's correct in a node.js environment running script code it is essential to have module wrapper with export.
