This is a bit off-topic, but am I the only one who thinks "fetch" API is weird?<p>To me the first thing that irks me is the name itself. "Fetch". Simply because api calls that you are making don't have to be about fetching something. You can make a request to create, update or delete something. Why this type of naming? Even for retrieving information the name just seems a bit random.
Good news!<p>However, according to Robert Nagy's comment they seem to struggle with test coverage for the feature: "There is little interest in writing those [tests for fetch]. To the point where it kind of is blocking further work towards spec compliance". Interesting that this is the main holdup right now.
For someone in the know, what's the advantage of adding this to core rather than using the existing node-fetch package I've been using for years? I mean, the API's basically the same, right?
