Many programming languages have standard libraries. What about JavaScript? 🤔️

Deno’s goal is to simplify programming, and part of that is to provide the JavaScript community with a carefully audited standard library (that works in Deno and Node) that offers utility functions for data manipulation, web-related logic, and more. We created the Deno Standard Library in 2021, and four years, 151 releases, and over 4k commits later, we’re thrilled to finally announce that it’s 30 modules are finally stabilized at v1.

    Node comes with a JS library? This thread is full of surprises.

      Yeah in order to access native features that Node supports and you can’t do on the web, like running processes and opening TCP connections.

        That’s not a standard library for JS. Those are builtin modules. A standard library should be available for inclusion in various consumers.

          Well this isn’t a standard library either then. But seeing as it is literally called that I’d say your unusually restrictive definition is nonsense.
