I think these kinds of attack would be strongly reduced if js had a strong standard library.

If it was provided, it would significantly trim dependency trees of all the small utility libraries.

Perhaps we need a common community effort to create a “distro” of curated and safe dependencies one can install safely, by analyzing the most popular packages and checking what’s common and small enough to be worth being included/forked.
