It should be in the standard library anyway. Why the hell is it not?!

I mean yeah, I can write my own function to do the same thing and probably I've done it at some point in some coding exercise as a beginner, but this seems like such a common thing to use, it should be in the standard library of any sane language.

It is, as padStart, which makes the number of packages using leftpad even more incomprehensible

Brb changing a million libraries on npm to use padStart instead of left-pad and removing the dependency
