Working between a number of different ECMAScript environments over the years, such as in Java with Rhino and Nashorn, Node.js, and various web browsers, one thing I have noticed is that there is no standard input/output/error stream like most other languages support, and each ecosystem tends to define their own host objects to deal with these, like the console object in most Web Browsers (Which is at least defined in a WHATWG Living Standard), the process object in Node.js, and the print object in Nashorn.
I feel for long term portability, the 3 standard IO streams should be added to the spec in some way, Is there a reason I am not seeing as to why this wouldn't be desired?
