I/O modules are a native feature of Javascript! The import and export keywords are actually a very powerful thing for a language. You can of course use them directly on CodePen.

Sponsor: Netlify
Among the many incredibly innovative things Netlify has done are offer cloud functions for any site you publish on Netlify.

And hey, if you need import Things, you got it.
