When people say "js doesn't have a stdlib" they mean "js doesn't have a robust general purpose stdlib like C++ or ${LANGUAGE_ID_RATHER_BE_USING}."

But of course it fucking doesn't because it's a scripting language for the web. It has what it needs, and to do that it doesn't need much.

It does though! The JS stdlib even includes an entire wasm runtime. Its huge!

Seriously. I can barely think of any features in the C++ stdlib that are missing from JS. There's a couple - like JS is missing std::priority_queue. But JS has soooo much stuff that C++ is missing. Its insane.
