Or she is a programmer working with a sensible programming language with sensible standard library (e.g., Python). I would really like to like NodeJS, JavaScript is not that bad language in itself, but missing standard library is a problem for me.
- mort96 8y agoNode has a pretty big standard library really (in fact that's all node.js is; a module system and a ton of modules built on top of a JS engine). What do you find is missing compared to Python's standard library?

- mort96 8y agoI'm pretty sure that's talking about all the third-party libraries which exist for Python; that this "antigravity" library is available for Python, not a part of its standard library. (I might be wrong though, I'm not Randall Munroe)
- Doxin 8y agoThe fact that there was a need for the left-pad module is pretty telling on how comprehensive the stdlib in js is.
- Thiez 8y agoWhich programming language are you using that has left-pads functionality in the standard library?
- mort96 8y agoWell, python's strings have the ljust and rjust methods which left- and right-pad, and javascript has the padStart and padEnd methods (since ECMAScript 2017).

- mort96 8y agoI wasn't really interested in your opinion based on the lack of one 1-line utility function (and it is one line: `new Array(10 - str.length).fill("0").join("") + str`). I was interested in what significant functionality OP found lacking in node.js' standard library.
