Universal package name prefix to represent standard library

[trymeouteh]

Currently you can use node such as import fs from 'node:fs'; to tell Node that this package is apart of the standard library. However many of the standard libraries in NodeJS are also available in other runtimes such as Deno or Bun. And when you use import fs from 'node:fs'; in Deno or Bun to use the standard fs library, it looks a bit odd since your not using Node.

I would like to suggest adding another prefix name to packages that are apart of the standard library for NodeJS. By having a secondary prefix name, it will also suggest that this standard library is not exclusive to NodeJS. Here are some name ideas

• runtime import fs from 'runtime:fs';
• std import fs from 'std:fs';

These standard libraries are exclusive to Node.js. Other runtimes make it their goal to make compatible implementations, but at the end of the day, they are different libraries. This prefix (node:) has been de-facto for many many years, and is unlikely to change.

However, many thanks for taking the time to give us feedback, and we look forward to seeing more in the future 😃.

I do not wish to replace node: prefix but to add another one that means it is universal to all runtimes
