Why hasn't a Javascript equivalent of the Apache Commons Java library (or similar) been developed?
When I was a Java developer just about everybody used it - Lots of widely used, tested, organised, and trusted utility functionality: https://commons.apache.org/ https://commons.apache.org/
Presumably most decent packaging tools will strip out any unused code, it stops less experienced developers reinventing the wheel and importing another dependency without thought.
