The blog doesn't explain how to take advantage of isolated modules without using JSR, or how JSR transforms published packages.

How would a project configure node and typescript to use a npm module that has exported .ts files?

You wouldn't, you would use JSR.

I despise this recurring trend in the JS-adjacent world of "cutting edge" people making their published packages intentionally incompatible with what everyone else is doing.

Well, if they want no one to use their libraries, then fine. You would think that as a person publishing library code to a public registry, you would be incentivized to ensure your code is broadly usable. At least in general.

I know this is in the context of JSR where this isn't an issue, but I suppose some people just want to just use a registry as a personal code repository. Id just hope they don't pollute the top level namespace in that case.

Who am I kidding, sadly for NPM that ship sailed years ago :*-(
