Node is ostensibly batteries included, but they’re weird, arcane batteries powered by tears. Therefore, to get anything done easily usually requires an external package.

Node doesn't even have a stdlib. You have to npm or yarn anything. And yes most of the time it will end in tears. That's not my definition of batteries included, but rather some batteries might explode, others might only ignite, we wish you the best of luck.

Yes it does. Perhaps you're thinking of browser JS, which does not.

What's a stdlib then, if Node's isn't?
