CommonJS CommonJS — require() works on every Node.js version
@esbuild/linux-x64 ships CommonJS only. require("@esbuild/linux-x64") works everywhere. import "@esbuild/linux-x64" also works because Node.js and Bun can import CommonJS from ES modules, but only the default export is guaranteed; named imports depend on Node's static analysis of the module.
