Deno's Standard Library for JavaScript Finally Stabilized at v1 | 3min 5sec Video | Aug 8, 2024
Video Description
Many programming languages have standard libraries. What about JavaScript? 🤔️
Deno's goal is to simplify programming, and part of that is to provide the JavaScript community with a carefully audited standard library (that works in Deno and Node) that offers utility functions for data manipulation, web-related logic, and more. We created the Deno Standard Library in 2021, and four years, 151 releases, and over 4k commits later, we're thrilled to finally announce that it's 30 modules are finally stabilized at v1.

Oh wow, yet another standard library for JS 😂
What standard library?
JS has only had package/library hell
Kinda my point. And this is another garbage bag on the pile.
https://stdlib.io/ is just the most obvious thing to come to mind. Jeeze jQuery even sat on this chair.
Deno people are trying so fucking hard to be relevant. It's embarrassing. Bringing nothing to the table has been their MO from day 1.
Yet another? The only other one is Node's and that is trash.
The video mentions some "de facto" standard libraries like Lodash or Underscore. But there is also Bun which try to promote their standard library like their test runner, their HTTP server, etc..
I like Deno's approach, since they try to make their “Standard library” also available for other platform. But only few of them are compatible with Node.js.
For instance,
@std/cliis only available for Deno. So I'll stick with commander which is more standard for CLI tools, and it works with Deno, Bun & Node.js.Node comes with a JS library? This thread is full of surprises.
