Close, but much more important than the number of libraries is the number of high quality libraries for all purposes you could ever need.
In this regard, JavaScript is far from good. There's huge amounts of package instability, a lot of mucking with node_modules, a lot of useless breakage.
I have found that Python and Ruby are much better in this regard. The libraries serve way more purposes, they're stable and work well, and I can count on library improvements being incremental and easy to digest
