That may indeed be a more useful distinction to draw here. In it, Node could be said to provide a "standard library" (although not actually standardized, and I'm not sure how much it overlaps with eg Deno), while padStart and such would be core language features inasmuch as a compliant JS implementation is guaranteed to include them.
edit: It is not, however, an accurate distinction. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28021135 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28021135
- pcthrowaway 5y agoEven if you call the node built-in libraries 'the standard library' (for node), from context I think it was clear that GGP was referring to the ECMAScript standard library
- throwanem 5y agoPretty sure GGP in your usage here was also me. I was so referring, but had been unaware that ECMA-262 actually defines "standard library" in a way with which my intuitive usage happened to correspond.
