But for TCP sockets, we faced a challenge — there was no clear shared standard across runtimes. Node.js provides the net and tls APIs, but Deno implements a different API — Deno.connect. And web browsers do not provide a raw TCP socket API, though a WICG proposal does exist, and it is different from both Node.js and Deno.
