HTTP imports paved the way for URI imports like npm: and jsr:, which is still an awesome solution.
I don't really think the downsides with HTTP were so bad though. People just weren't ready for decentralized coding, so to beat Bun and Node, Deno has to bridge the gap. It's a little unfortunate because I think Deno is ahead of its time. Issues like semver could be fixed by proposing a standardized URL format for HTTP modules.
