Hello Axel,

Before moving forward, I want to thank you for all the great material you are always creating, I have used some of it in some courses of JS I taught in the past and the students' loved it.

I was reading this chapter of your new book and I didn't get the point of why in the diagram ES Standard Library is separated from JavaScript, any insight abut this would be appreciated.

Thanks!

@mgtitimoli I don't know if you have found the answer to this yet but here's what I can proffer The ES standard library contains everything that's common in all JavaScript environments, features implemented from the ES specifications. The JavaScript under Node.js APIs are those parts of JavaScript that are Node.js-specific, e.g Buffers.

I hope this helps. Cheers!
