josephg | on: The three pillars of JavaScript bloat
What functionality is still missing from the JS standard library? The JS standard library seems massive these days.

Edit: Removed a reference to node and bun.

Some utility stuff I copy paste between projects:

  - range, clamp, inIvl, enumerate, topK
  - groupBy (array to record), numeric / lexical array sorts
  - seeded rng
  - throttling
  - attachDragListener (like d3's mousedown -> mousemove -> mouseup)
  - Maps / Sets that accept non-primitive keys (ie custom hash)
So basically functions that every *dash variant includes.

It's not standard unless it's in the actual standard.

Those aren't a standard library for the language itself - they're not showing up in browsers, for example.

We're talking about JS in browsers: many fewer options there, plus needing to support old devices.
