Browserify is a js lib for facilitating node.js style modules on the front end. Why does ender use it's own syntax and system? While I enjoy ender's syntax the system its system does not let me load files via require only. Those required modules need to be loadd via script tags or explicity passed on the cli compile function, while all being manually in the right order. He current system also doesn't allow for requiring folders via its name and enter a lookup for index.js.

As it is I find ender's module system unhelpful. Why would I use it instead of Browserify or an asynchronous system like require.js?

If it people agree Browserify is a good idea and implementation, I would love to see ender adopt it.

Thoughts?
