What? JavaScript _has_ a standard library. And even though it has a lot of legacy baggage, it is very well defined [1] [2]. Much better defined than C, for example, where a lot of undefined behavior is given as common practice, but in reality is up to compiler implementation, and varies from architecture to architecture.
JavaScript even with all its thorns, it's a very consistent ecosystem nowadays, across browsers and architectures. Being forever retro-compatible is a good thing, meaning that most code that ran during the 2000s, can still be run with minimal change.
