I mean, it’s not necessarily “in the JS world”, but WASM is basically that.

No it’s not. Problem right now is that every WASM files pulls in its own stdlib. Which is a waste once you use more than one.

WASM is explicitly not that. WASM itself has no APIs, it's just an execution envionment.

You may be thinking of WASI?
