JavaScript much to my dismay has no sprintf. It's one of the most annoying omissions ever for server side work.

The biggest thing I've run into is that there's no built-in `mkdir -p`. There is, of course, a module that is literally just mkdirp.

require('util').format gets you pretty close.

  • No it really doesn't. It is so far away from even Perl's printf (considered ancient by most JS programmers) that it is not even funny.
