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.

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.

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.
