Replies for: Is it possible to use async/await ?

  (async () => {
    const moduleSpecifier = './utils.mjs';
    const module = await import(moduleSpecifier)
    module.default();
    // → logs 'Hi from the default export!'
    module.doStuff();
    // → logs 'Doing stuff…'
  })();

you could even

  (async () => {
    const moduleSpecifier = './utils.mjs';
    const { default: utils, doStuff } = await import(moduleSpecifier)
    utils();
    // → logs 'Hi from the default export!'
    doStuff();
    // → logs 'Doing stuff…'
  })();

Which is similar to the static syntax

import { default as utils, doStuff } from './utils.js';

I presume you could do something like this?

const moduleImport = async (loc, callback) => {
  const module = await import(loc);
  callback(module);
}

moduleImport("./dog", ({ bark }) => { bark("Hello World") });

How is this better than just using a promise, as shown in the post?
