A comparable example from JavaScript, there is no library-method for getting the last element of an array, so it gets clumsy: myArray [myArray.length - 1]. A better standard library would provide a method for that: myArray.last(). Or maybe myArray[-1].

That's a great example. And, yes, Javascript has a similar problem.
