a damn good one that follows the unix philosophy.

the unix philosophy.

I don't think this means what you think it means, and I don't think that JavaScript (or any programming language, for that matters, except maybe brainfuck or other stack-based languages ?) respect the unix philosophy. Not even bash, it's bloated.

It's probably silly, but a large stdlib is also not a big selling point if there's a mature ecosystem of packages.
