Multi-platform utility library
DESCRIPTION:
The library aims are:
- no branding (or as invisible as possible) unlike dojo.*, jquery, etc.
- improve native types with high level functions
- gather all best functions and practises from javascript and other similar frameworks
- cross platform (browsers and servers)
- performances
Its utopic aim is to raise a discussion about what are the most needed functions in javascript and could be used as a standard.
The main drawback of the std.js approach native type tweaking like String, Array, etc. This choice is intentional to improve the Javascript language itself and not provide long API like Vendor.string.doSomeStuff(str).
