I agree but those are issues orthogonal to the basic rate of unemployment, no? You can have very low unemployment and still have a very poor country if everyone's working for pennies, and that's a real problem. IIRC too low unempl

I would otherwise agree that JS's standard library is too small, but I don't think your example showcases it. Which languages offer this in their standard library? It's not in any of the languages I have used: C, C++, C#, Jav
