Towards a Standard Library for JavaScript Runtimes
watch on portal.gitnation.org ↗https://portal.gitnation.org/contents/towards-a-standard-library-for-javascript-runtimessummary
The talk discusses the problem that JavaScript runtimes (Node and browsers) lack a common standard library, causing multiple incompatible ways to do tasks like base64 encoding. It outlines the small-core philosophy and how some runtimes use it to avoid providing APIs, argues there is misalignment between Node and web platform functionality, and proposes engaging browser developers to create a shared standard library for runtimes.
