		andreigheorghe on Feb 1, 2022 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Fetch API has landed into Node.js the value the js community gets from `fetch` being a unified standard is far, far greater than the benefit you as a developer would get from not having to add 15 extra LOC around `fetch`, that you'll probably hide behind a `fetchJSON` function anyway.

Point is everyone had a slightly different 150 LOC or a library to achieve essentially the same thing.

We could have stuck with ‘if index is not equal to minus one’ but we have array includes now for the same reason.
