Rolldown drops CJS support! From the latest version of @rolldown.rs (1.0.0-beta.36) on, Rolldown will only be released in the ESM format. The required Node version has also been bumped to align with @vite.dev (20.19+ and 22.12+). Node 18 has been dropped due to being EOL since April.

Yesss! One day the JS ecosystem will have a more streamlined module system... right? Right?! 😂

ESM isn't that bad - if we would get all the packages as ESM :P

One can hope! Thankfully I have yet to do a project that's ESM that's screwed by CJS. Interop is good, sometimes builds get confusing and I always wonder how much greener the grass would be if everything was just... ESM. 🤣
