> Yet, we still have some languages who's developers refuse to include even a basic http API in their standard libraries in an age where even embedded systems have started to speak http.

There’s also the philosophy that the language core should be as minimal as possible. I’m not 100% sold on it, but there’s definitely a valid argument to be made in favor of it.

As I wrote in another comment, it depends on the goal of the language, Go was build for writing web services, that's why they have most, if not everything, you need to write this type of apps.

Yes, I very much agree. The comment I was replying to however was referring to “other languages”.

My take as well. It's not black or white. At times I wish Rust's std lib was greater (by the way, it's not small either), but other times I'm blown away by the quality of some community crates.
