Yes, fewer, larger, trustworthy dependencies with tree shaking is the way to go if you ask me.

Almost like a standard library..
Yeah, but perhaps we could have different flavors. If you like functional style you could have a very functional standard library that doesn't mutate anything, or if you like object oriented stuff you could have classes of object with methods that mutate themselves. And the Typescript folks could have a strongly typed library.
I wanted to make a joke about

   npm install stdlib 
…but double checked before and @stdlib/stdlib has 58 dependencies, so the joke preempted me.
