"No standard library" might be too strong a criticism, but "a dozen or so built-in global variables with various methods" is still probably not the user experience that most desire.

  See Python (for feature rich version) or Rust (for less feature rich standard lib).

"A dozen or so built-in global variables with various methods" is exactly what a standard library is. (Well, usually it's more than 'a dozen or so'.) Generally those variables are of the "package" type, but no such type exists in JavaScript.
