Oh it even has it's own repository!

Should it not also be listed under globalThis here?

sashafirsov commented 1 year ago

fetch is just one of API for data retrieval. How valuable would be other venues for common minimum API?

Following kind of questions could help with value matrix:

if I am a device vendor, would be stream preferable over blob-in-memory by fetch()?
-||-, would be socket 2-way connection be preferable to pulling?

If fetch is added to the common minimum API, the WebAssembly Web API, which defines WebAssembly.instantiateStreaming and WebAssembly.compileStreaming, should be added as well. It can't be added currently because it relies on the Response interface.

fetch and the wasm Web API are now added.
