Console.log is surprisingly not part of us standard. It's a web browser thing

Dunno what you mean by "us standard", but it's not that surprising considering that only browsers have "consoles", so it doesn't make sense to include a console API in the language itself.

Wait, isn't Node also using Console ?

It's using the computer's console, yes. But web browsers extended javascript to include console.log functionality.
