Support JavaScript Modules [Scripting API]

Most modern javascript development has moved away from monolithic scripts towards modules.

My chess script is getting quite large and I'd really like to be able to import utility functions from another file. (or use the same code across client and server), ideally, we'd be able to use vanilla JavaScript ES6 modules (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/import)

  Yes, without modules our scripts will soon be unmaintainable. For the meantime we could possibly use tools like webpack and rollup.js.
