1000% agree. Javascript is weak in this regard if you compare it to major programming languages. It just adds unnecessary security risks not having a language with built in imports for common things like making API calls out or parsing JSON, for example.

It does have functions for that, “fetch” and “JSON.parse,” available in most JS runtimes.
