Some people for the last decade: wouldn't it be great if node had a comprehensive, idiomatically coherent, thoroughly typed standard library ? Look, typescript is right here !

No-one, at all, for the love of jeebus: Do another node-like thing, but make it in rust on top of C++ (or is the other way around ?), somewhat similar but generally incompatible, have a whole different set of APIs, a bunch of new tools and yet another package/module system.
