So one thing that is seriously lacking in javascript has a decent set of standard library routines. (Which is one of the reasons I think python is so awesome.)

Great quote that I heard somewhere once:

"Python? That's that language like Javascript with a decent standard library, right?"

Umm, I can't remember the other things right now. ;) It was by no means perfect and had plenty of warts, but it was definately better than I was expecting ;)

Also agreed. The dynamic typing kills me sometimes (is there a static analysis tool for Javascript), but as a language it's quite good. No standard library hurts though... the main reason I prefer C+ + over C these days is that the STL is at least a standard library of good data structures. (I can see Erik starting to foam at the mouth now :).
