Supporting import natively in node (JS V8 engine to be precise) is probably never going to happen, just use require instead.
Supporting async await is coming really soon, already supported in V8 v5.5 (node 7.3 still uses V8 5.4, hopefully in the next release).

@yedidyak if you use node v7.1.0 and up you can add --harmony_async_await to your mocha.opts and it should do the async await magic.

new async await api is no in master, check out the test project. upcoming detox version (5.0.0) breaks the api completely in favor of async await.

Use node 7.6.0 and never babelify again.

Why can't i use import syntax?

[rotemmiz]

AFAIK it is still not supported natively in node: https://nodejs.org/api/esm.html#esm_unsupported

You can use import if you Babel your tests.

Migrate your specs from mocha to jest and you'll be set ;)
It seems that jest has build-in support for es6 imports
