It's news to me that anyone actually uses the web streams in node. I thought they were just for interoperability, for code that needs to run on both client and server.

You need to use them for things like Cloudflare and Denos HTTP servers, which is actually a fairly common (and nice) pattern:

> Two years ago Cloudflare released an API for creating servers in JavaScript. Now every modern JavaScript cloud provider supports it.

This is so ridiculously far from the truth lol. Every JS runtime after node has been championing web APIs and that’s how you get the fetch API’s Request/Response outside the browser.
