I've Just Liberated My Modules

I don't understand the standard library argument at all. Standard library is always limited, there is always something that's not included - then what?

This has nothing to do with the JavaScript standard library but the insanity of NPM. There are modules that have even more dependents than `pad-left` despite being included in the standard library (e.g. https://www.npmjs.com/package/date-now, https://www.npmjs.com/package/is-positive, https://www.npmjs.com/package/is-lower-case)

The argument is that things like formatting a string -- including padding it -- should not be add-ons, they should be built into the core distribution you get as part of the language.

I didn't say it shouldn't be part of standard library, I am saying that there is always something that isn't part of the standard library. My point is: if this module was something that shouldn't be part of standard library, what argument would you then use?
