Where I'm at as a JS developer, I'm looking for three things when I start a new project:

1) A object oriented system with "compiler" - currently I use the Google Closure Compiler and JsDoc style data annotations. It's basically a robust linter. For real OO, I use Resig's class implementation, but I'm not aware of any tools that support it for linting or "compiling". TypeScript is a potential breath of fresh air.

2) Something to cut down the boilerplate required to bind JS objects to the DOM. I've read most of the angular docs, but haven't had the chance to do a project using it yet. It will be interesting to see how long before there is a TypeScript import file for angular. I'm not holding my breath because I foresee competing ecosystems emerging.

3) A browser homogenization library. This isn't a big deal, just use jQuery or limit support for legacy browsers and use jQlite.
