Using functions in the ruleset

@UniperMaster :
Thank you so much for reaching out.
Functions will work with the ruleset.

You are currently using the SimpleJS syntax and in order for our linter to work, it needs ES syntax. Our current recommendation is for you to transition from SimpleJS to ES syntax.

Transitioning from SimpleJS syntax (which is similar to CommonJS) to ES Modules (ESM) involves a few steps. Let’s explore how you can make this transition:

1. Understand the Differences:

• CommonJS uses require() for importing modules and module.exports or exports for exporting.
• ESM introduces the import and export syntax natively to JavaScript.
• ESM offers better performance, compatibility, and static analysis benefits.

2. Update Your Code:

• Start by converting your module syntax from require to import.
• Rename files to use the .mjs extension (or adjust the type property in package.json if you prefer .js for ESM).

3. Package.json Configuration (optional):

• Set "type": "module" in your package.json to enable ESM.
  Ensure backward compatibility by specifying .js or .mjs extensions for ESM files.

For the future: we are currently having conversations about supporting this in the future. In the mean time, I will add a note to the readme file
