I keep hearing this complaint, and at the same time I'm wondering why it's a big problem. So you can't find 3rd party libraries that are good enough to fill in the void from the lack of a good standard library?

Yes, pretty much. I don’t want to bikeshed elementary parts of the developer experience, never mind vetting all the teeny components or find replacements if dependency hell strikes, quality regresses or maintainers disappear.

Given all the constraints, it’s highly unlikely that you find something consistent.

So you write your own standard library substitutes? Math, functional, etc...?
