Golang has the golang.org/x packages, which avoids too much stdlib bloat while still providing the niceties of “pre-vetted” packages that don’t pull in a massive dependency tree.

Yeah, I try to avoid 3rd party libraries unless it comes from credible sources/companies or vetted by famous frameworks e.g. Rails uses it.

Not just for NPM but for Intellij plugin, VSCode extension, and etc.

If Node has officially pre-vetted libraries, that would be really awesome.

yeah I wish Node had something like that
It does! (well Deno does but you can use them in Node)

support is not uniform though
