Why is args of main function in kotlin/js always empty when running on nodejs?

fun main(args: Array<String>) = println(args.size)
// always prints 0

To access command line arguments I should do something like:

@JsModule("process")
external object process {
    val argv: Array<String>
}
fun main() = println(process.argv.sliceArray(2 until process.argv.size))

Not a super convenient way. And it is defferent from the other platforms.

Kotlin doesn't target node.js, only generic js, so doesn't have integration with node.js process out of the box
