Totally agree. If JS had only a decent standard lib for string, collections and math I bet the number of packages would be reduced by a lot. I wonder what the reception of such a thing in NPM would be. Would people appreciate having only one, but larger dependency?
- peteforde 8y agoThere's an old engineering joke about how there's 13 incompatible power socket standards in use on Earth today. Sensing an opportunity to engineer a better solution, they created a power socket that is simpler, easier to use and cheaper to install than all current standards. Now there are 14 power socket standards.
