I occasionally code in Javascript and I always get the feeling that I'm working with a language without a decent built-in standard library.

Want to work with dates? Use a third party library (or use built-in 1995-style library). Want to format a string? Use a third-party library. Want to do X? Use a third-party library.

Coding in e.g Python feels completely different: almost everything I need is in the standard library.
