“I want predictable behavior for all possible inputs” is hardly a requirement that requires a fortune teller to see coming.
JavaScript has a particularly insane stdlib because this language wasn’t designed, it is a botched chimera with deformities so severe it should have died 15 times over but people just won’t let it.
Then to rub salt in the wound this horrific mess became the most popular language in the world by virtue of being the only language for the most popular application ecosystem in the world (the web). So the cancer is spreading and now you can find JavaScript in servers and fucking desktop environments and now your windows start menu takes five seconds to load because fucking react.js is loading the 75 polyfills necessary to make up for the fact that JS’s “standard” library looks like it was designed by 3 cocained-up gibbons.
