There's also the option of including that standard lib with the runtime.
- crabmusket 1y agoThat is exactly what happens today. JS has a standard library. It's just not evenly distributed.
- int_19h 1y agoJS standard library is missing very basic things like maps with value semantics for keys that aren't primitives.

- int_19h 1y agoWeb browsers update far more often than .NET runtime, if anything. And .NET still supports a lot of deprecated stuff going all the way back to 1.0; so does Java (old-style collections, for example). Also, JavaScript is a shining example of "never ever be able to correct your past mistakes" already, so it's not like this is something new for the web.
