I've honestly never understood why someone at Google or Mozilla hasn't decided to write a JavaScript Standard Library.
I'm not opposed to NPM, because dumb shit like this happens everywhere. If such a package is used millions of times a day, perhaps it would make sense to standardise it and have it as part of the fucking browser or node runtime...
core-js is exactly that, but it focuses on implementing baseline features that can be polyfilled.
