This is a a good point.  I often think that when it comes to gaining
proficiency in a programming language, you spend as much time learning
about the language as you do learning about the libraries that are
available.  In some cases, such as Perl, I can almost count on the
fact that if I need a particular functionality, that there is at least
one package at CPAN; but even then I spend a bit of time learning the
API for the particular package.

Great list.  Now if only there was something like CPAN for JavaScript.
