WHAT WE GOT WRONG ABOUT HTTP IMPORTS

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Deno's initial HTTP imports aimed to simplify JavaScript development by using distributed URLs instead of a centralized registry, but this approach faced issues like long URLs, cumbersome dependency management, and reliability concerns. Deno introduced Import Maps and JSR to address these problems, offering better version management and reliability while maintaining the benefits of granular, HTTP-based module loading.
