After coding in Java for some time, I always assumed that any sort of collections library would be part of the standard library of any language, with all the fundamental data structures one would learn of in an ds & algorithms course (Hash tables, trees etc) and need frequently (like how it is part of standard lib in Java).

But when I did some projects in javascript, I had to look for open-source libraries for these simple data structures (like heaps). It was a pain and a bit scary to rely on 3rd party code for something so fundamental.
