I've honestly never understood why someone at Google or Mozilla hasn't decided to write a JavaScript Standard Library.

I'm not opposed to NPM, because dumb shit like this happens everywhere. If such a package is used millions of times a day, perhaps it would make sense to standardise it and have it as part of the fucking browser or node runtime...

I wish they would replace JavaScript with something that was made for what it's used for. JavaScript should have died years ago.

I'm still waiting for webassembly to take off
