OCaml Batteries Included
OCaml Batteries included (or simply "Batteries") is a community-driven effort to standardize on an consistent, documented, and comprehensive development platform for the OCaml programming language. Batteries is meant to serve the following purposes: define a standard set of libraries which may be expected on every compliant installation of OCaml; organize these libraries into a hierarchy of modules; define a standard set of language extensions (based on CamlP4) which may be expected on every compliant installation of OCaml;October 28 2009
Underscore.js
Underscore is a utility-belt library for Javascript that provides a lot of the functional programming support that you would expect in Prototype.js (or Ruby), but without extending any of the built-in Javascript objects. It's the tie to go along with jQuery's tux. Underscore provides 42-odd functions that support both the usual functional suspects: map, select, invoke — as well as more specialized helpers: function binding, javascript templating, deep equality testing, and so on. It delegates to built-in functions, if present, so Javascript 1.6 compliant browsers will use the native implementations of forEach, map, filter, every, some and indexOf.

Try() as you might
Tired of writing things like (user.name if user) and all it's variants? Almost a year back now, I saw the try() method suggested. The intention of the method is to guard you against calling methods on a nil object. If you try to call a method on a nil object it should return nil, otherwise it should call the method.
