Python is just JS with extra syntax? The languages have very different object and meta-object/overloading models, as well as other divergent features: JavaScript can mutate closures, for example.

I agree, though, that a stdlib should be part of the core language. Not having a serious standard library has hurt the Scheme community a great deal, I think.
