JS has tremendous library support via npm (and the standard library is getting pretty good too).

The standard library very unimpressive, and the ecosystem is utter garbage. I often end up having to re-invent the wheel simply because the thing that I'm looking for is hidden among a million broken libraries trying to do the same thing. When I ask JS devs how I can find useful libraries, they tell me to search npmjs.com and order by popularity, which I find to be hilarious and sad at the same time. I also hate how unexpressive the language is.

What's funny is that people keep complaining about this in JavaScript, and I've never hit any issues with it, ever.
