## Description

This EP proposes having the current [websockets/ws](https://github.com/websockets/ws) userland implementation in core.
Efforts have already been made on nodejs/node#4842. It is understood that
adaptions to style and simplicity need to be done in order to conform with
`node` core.

## Motivation

> `websockets` are the primary reason for companies, which have **not** decided
to make a commitment towards `node` to use `node` anyways. For a wider adoption
of the language this is a critical point.

How much basis is there for this? My insight indicates to me: little to none..

Could change wording, but I think this fact still hold up.

I highly doubt that this is a valid point. Without performing some kind of relevant research, at least.

If companies are already adopting node.js because of how good the ws package is, then that means the ws maintainers are doing a great job and there's nothing that node core needs to do.


The above statement is the observation of the author.

However in order to gain momentum as a language, the experience should be as
performant, secure and well documented as possible. Userland development is to
be believed not holding enough capacity to meet those requirements. Especially
issues like `Buffer(number)`, however dangerous they are, can only be
effectively secured via backporting code through the language's LTS.
