a peer-viewed standard library is key, just like what glibc or libstdcpp for c/c++ that covers 80% of the normal use cases, the rest you're in charge for its quality check.

with javascript/node, you can write 100 lines of code then pulling 100 modules, it's quite different and hard to assure its quality and safety over long period of time.

I heard rust also has a very small stdlib, that gave me concerns, but I don't code rust, I do hope though all languages can have a stdlib that is 20% the size covers 80% of normal needs.
