I actually agree on this one. The standard library is pretty basic. I guess my background as a C programmer means I'm just not very spoiled with great standard libraries. I do think that I'm going to have to start using moment.js quite soon, for instance, just because there is so little date/time-related functionality. I might try to roll my own simple time functions, but my hunch is I'll quickly run into quite tricky problems that will take too much time to reinvent solutions to.
