Graphics is IO, not language. There is absolutely no reason for it to be bloating the language itself.

- nicky0 10y agoThe standard library isn't the language.
- pcunite 10y agoI understand the purity of this statement. I even wish it could be true. But without a standard library shipping with the language itself (today's approach to things) then who is going to implement this standardized IO addon that a whole lot of us need? The truth is that it just wouldn't otherwise get done. Maybe twenty years from now there will be committees working on separate modules and we'll download those if desired.
- pjmlp 10y ago> Graphics is IO, not language. So lets remove stdio and iostreams from the standard, shall we?! Just for the sake of keeping the standard pure. A language goes hand in hand with its libraries, failure to understand that just leads to oblivion.
