Again, a lean stdlib is a feature, not a bug. You can have theoretical disagreements with this, but you didn't invent the most popular programming in the world. As for Python, not interested, it's mostly a "performance doesn't matter, being able to do this without expertise, time or even necessarily intellect does" niche. JS has been slow to roll in core functionality, but is has made great strides by being highly conservative, not generating the kind of bloat that PHP has. |

This is such a weird ad hominin (especially from a two-week-old account).
Regardless, the absolute, overwhelming popularity of jquery pre-ES6 goes to show that practically every developer was of the opinion that JS's weak stdlib was a bug, and the community did their best to patch it. ES7+ is leagues better for it, but it still has room for improvement.
