This is a very weird change, I know, but there is good reason behind it: 1. ESM resolution algorithm does not currently support automatic resolution of file extensions and does not have the hability to import directories that have an index file. The extension and the name of the file being import need to _always_ be spcified. See: https://nodejs.org/api/esm.html#esm_customizing_esm_specifier_resolution_algorithm 2. Typescript does not provide features that change compiled JS code. This means there is no Typescript feature to include the ".js" on compiled code. See: microsoft/TypeScript#16577 (comment) All of this results in this weird change. It is the accepted workaround for this issue and until ES6 imports support automatic resolution of extensions, we will keep it.
