If you have a problems with eslint, just add:
/* global Joomla */
At top of the file. Like we have for TinyMCE
I would suggest to keep for 5.1 the same what you did for 4.4 (will be upmerged).
And set core and validator to type=module for 5.2 as a new feature.
I don't see any problems with the change from defer to type=module. Let me explain:
- the defer script in 4.4 has a
use strictbut with thetype=modulethis is inferred - Both defer and
type=moduleload the script as deferred - The only difference is that in the 4.4 the class
JFormValidatoris globally registered but I could attach it to the window and have the same effect.
In sort this change shouldn't be assumed as a breaking change as it isn't
I'll change the window.Joomla refs
There no problem to set type=module as it is, however they may be extensions that doing "script optimisation" merging non module scripts etc. It will change behavior slightly, to them.
It is not a big deal, but I would keep it safe, and would not to do such changes in patch release.

I'm willing to take full responsibility for this if the maintainers trust me ?♂️
Then I leave you to maintainers ?
Please add one more globals for window.punycode = punycode; (as it may used by some script).
And then release manages can decide, what to do with the PR.

Done, I guess you could raise this to the maintainers

Hey @dgrammatiko thanks for this PR. Just to understand, isn't this a B/C break, if someone e.g. made an override of the "old" core/validation script and now it's loaded as a module?
No, type=module means:
- use strict by default
- Deferred
- Reduced scope
the reduced scope in this case is irrelevant as the classes are exposed as global vars. In sort there won’t be any issue!
Ok, I just saw, that after the upmerge something similar was done in 4.4, could you (@dgrammatiko ) please check, if the changes were correct and if this PR is still needed? Thank you!

@bembelimen these changes are still better than the code in 4.4. ES modules should be the default way of serving js in 2024...

I rebased this for 5.2, not sure if this comes to 5.2 or not @bembelimen @Hackwar

I understand that something similar was added to 4.4 and that theoretically this could go into 5.2, however I feel uncomfortable adding this to a patch release. That's why I'm moving this to 5.3, but I'm also asking @viocassel and @Fedik to re-test and then will merge it into 5.3. Thank you for your work so far.

Can you please solve the conflict in the file...
This is no go, sorry.
I would suggest to keep for 5.1 the same what you did for 4.4 (will be upmerged).
And set core and validator to type=module for 5.2 as a new feature.
Please, without this huge code move, that you made in core.js.
Just
window.Joomla = Joomla;is enough. Having 100window.Joomla.foobar = ..is very bad idea.Thanks.
