DOM libraries
Libraries that solve things that "everybody needs", by making constructs that make commonly done things simpler, and things more compatible between browsers over different platforms and versions. Usually you only use one of these, but there are ways of making them not be in conflict with one another. One of these basic libraries is often required by the frameworks.
An ubiquitous library that makes stuff easier and more cross browser compatible. Concentrates on the DOM (Document Object Model). Has a plugin ecosystem
Other basic libraries are Prototype, MooTools, Dojo and YUI.
Utility libraries
Libraries that make specific tasks easier.
A library that implements STM (Software transactional memory), a fairly novel way of doing concurrency
Functional idioms, required by Backbone
Animation and interactive graphics on the HTML5 Canvas
The foundation for GMail, Google documents, among other projects. Strong on widgets. Could arguably be called a framework, but according to the documentation emphasizes modularity and being usable in small parts in other code
Data visualization and interaction, with some amazing examples
Functional programming libraries
fn.js | A JavaScript library built to encourage a functional programming style & strategy.
The functional JavaScript library | functional.js
Form validation
Validation library with immediate feedback
Validation library that might be one step better for me, in initial tests
Frameworks
Put some overall structure onto the code and how to get things done. You choose one over the others. Tend to deal with data modelling and how to bind together an application with views, control, routes, and data persistence. Goal is to make larger scale applications doable and manageable.
powers many of the big sites. Has models, views routes and can serialize data into JSON and talk RESTfully with the server back end.

A framework in the same vein as backbone and ember
A framework in the same vein as backbone, methinks
backbone written in coffeescript, methinks
Like backbone but operating purely(?) with markup, it looks like.
zope.interface and adapter stuff on the client side, in javascript
Live bindings
Helps make things update immediately in the UI when data changes, like in a normal GUI on the desktop. Some of the frameworks already contain live bindings, such a Ember, Angularjs.
makes data and presentation update immediately, like in a normal GUI on the desktop
compatibility layer between knockout and backbone
I believe it makes data and presentation update immediately, like in a normal GUI on the desktop

jquery cycle
Build/test/deploy frameworks
Can apply different transformations to your code before deployment with the aid of modules, such as unit tests, minification and conformance to coding standards
Responsive web design with eminently usable page layouts and css. Also contains javascript targetting the look and feel.
Let's you control a headless webkit engine. The webkit engine underlies Google Chrome, Apple's Safari, the Android's standard web brwoser and many more. Webkit originally comes from KDE, a popular desktop environment on e.g. Linux. PhantomJS ought to make it possible todo very realistic testing and simulation.
Languages
Languages that are translated into javascript before being run in the browser. Debugging is going to get better when these languages start using the new source map functionality of the recent versions of Chrome/Chromium, where a breakpoint in the executed javascript code is associated with a line in the non-javascript source code. The other main browsers will hopefully follow suit implementing source maps.
Makes javascript look more like python. The kickstarter founded fork CoffeeScriptRedux supports source maps, according to this blog post.
clojurescript
Lisp-like language that also exists on the server side running on the JVM. Fairly big in the JVM world, so does not live or die by the browser. Source map tweet indicates that source maps may be on the way.
typescript
Light-handed enhancement of standard javascript to aid with development in larger projects. Tries to anticipate new versions of javascript (a.k.a. ECMAScript). Prevents a lot of late binding in order to make things more predictable and bugs easier to spot automatically. Gives more ambitious editing help than what is possible with javascript.
