Fixed size arrays would be great for working with stuff like matrices. I'm not sure what the best way to implement this would be, but views on a continuous buffer sound easy enough!

Hey! Thanks for the library
I have a similar problem with your package as bitECS. And others have a problem with this too
NateTheGreatt/bitECS#30

The solution to remove from your package.json {type: module} in node_modules is very bad, I would not want to do it manually every time

ecs.defineQuery is missing in new version, please update readme and show some new demos of how to use query()/createQuery() with all/not/any, maybe more about match() as well

Typescript is giving me Property 'defineComponent' does not exist on type 'ECS'., but it seems to be working fine with registerComponent, so just checking that's how it's meant to work!

in the Queries section in your readme you mention:

To define a query, use ecs.createQuery:
// Matches entities which have both component1 and component2
const query = ecs.createQuery(component1, component2)

This however doesnt compile, instead you have to use all() to make that work:

I sometimes want multiple systems to use the same query. Right now I just keep a record of queries around in my state, but this is pretty error prone. For example, I might realize system X needs access to component Y as well (which is not in the query system X uses), so now I need to check if anyone else is using the query system X uses, and if the answer is yes, create a different query which has all the components in the previous one + Y. (should I mention how akward naming queries is:)?)

it would be a lot nicer if the ECS class could keep track of existing queries and just return one of those when attempting to create a query with the same parameters as a previously created one

in your readme you link to your babel plugin but its a github 404
