Support for ESM yet?

          I suppose that we'll eventually migrate towards ESM modules, but there's no plan to do this atm. For now, if you must use ESM modules, I'd suggest moving forward with a bundler.

     This was mentioned in 2021, is there support for it yet?

The nest.js team has been resistant to change for too long. I am sure that soon we will see a new framework that implements modern development principles, including esm-decorators.

There's no way to support ESM decorators right now due to missing features like parameters decorators.

I don't think so. Moving to ESM is not an easy task an you can use ESM-only packages with nestjs apps just fine.

Funny enough, 99,9% of people asking for ESM support don't really need it (this feature really makes 0 difference for most Nest apps out there). And yes, using dynamic imports for ESM-only packages might be annoying and I get that, but believe me or not, everyone would be struggling much more if we switched to ESM by default right now.

No need to create yet another issue to track this. Once it's safe to migrate, we'll do this
