Isn't name mangling a standard thing done by just about every language except for C that compiles to object code? The lack of standardization between compilers

Isn't name mangling a standard thing done by just about every language except for C that compiles to object code? The lack of standardization between compilers sounds potentially problematic, but name mangling itself doesn't seem like a bad thing. The alternative is to force the programmer to do their own "name mangling" a la C.
