Javascript has an almost non-existent standard lib. Obviously Python ships with most of the kitchen sink in core. You're not grumpy, but you're misguided.

Why not create one big package that's a lib? Call it "batteries".

In fact, it already exists: Jquery.

Not these days. A lot of JS is written server-side. I'd say the likes of Underscore/Lodash are closer to being a JS "stdlib".

A lot of people like to think that software fragmentation comes without any drawback. Having many tiny libraries and/or multiple versions hurts in the long term.
