I use NodeJS daily, but I do agree some fundamental APIs are missing. For example, calling remote URLS is critical for most apps, yet Node only offers the "http" and "https" packages (and why different packages!). It should at least have "fetch" support and require installing the "node-fetch" dependency.

I'm glad Deno is here trying to push the ecosystem forward, at least with Typescript, and hopefully Node will learn from them.
