This is one of the reasons why I don't quite like Node. It feels like everything is a dependency.

It seems ridiculous to me that there isn't a native method for something as simple and ubiquitous as putting a thread to sleep, or that there is an external library (underscore) that provides 100+ methods that seem to be staples in any modern language.

Python is nice in that way. It is also opinionated in a cohesive and community driven manner, e.g. PEP8.
