This is good for Node, but would be bad for a large front-end lib.<p>If you&#x27;re delivering code to the browser, you don&#x27;t want every package to ship with its own stdlib. You want them to share dependencies.<p>Maybe this will matter less in the future when treeshaking is more reliable, but right now &quot;zero dependencies&quot; is not an unqualified advantage in the JS ecosystem.
