Although v20 is in maintenance mode, meaning only patch releases are expected, an exception was made to backport require(esm) due to its importance and impact on the ecosystem.

I made an app that opens faster than any Mac app I've seen, loading a 5500 line markdown file instantly.
It's not Swift. Not Rust. Not C++.
It's JavaScript! react-native-macos is INSANELY fast 🤯
And 10% the size of an Electron app!
I had no idea RN on desktop is this good.
