The way it seems to work with JS is that the community develops a bunch of stuff and the best rises to the top. This then influences the official language spec. ES6 basically made a lot of the popular tools redundant because it was heavily inspired by them.

This is so incredibly important because the main development of the language is so poorly handled.

And despite adding arrow functions, async/await, modules etc. we still don't have sprintf and a Math.round that can specify the number of places to round to.

I think that modern javascript is pretty good and I'm grateful for the syntax extensions that have effected that, but the standard library is crying out for some love.
