Re:Using a Framework will harm the maintenance of your software

No, programming languages exist in a different domain. The domain of frameworks is explicitly in toolchains and environments.
It's similar to the difference between function and algorithm. The former is literally code, and the latter is conceptual.
Many programming languages are distributed with a cohesive framework. For example, Rust is distributed not only with rustc to compile binaries, but also with cargo to manage library dependencies. That doesn't prevent you from using rustc without cargo, though, or even making another rust compiler for GCC, and using GCC's framework.
