I only skimmed the github page, but this seems to be more of 'what the author commonly uses' rather than what you'd normally expect of a standard library. For example, I'd expect that many of these features be more in a separate dedicated library rather than the 'standard':
- 40+ PRNGs (You might want one or two, but do you really need so many varients?)
- Plot API (Definitely more suited for a separate library)
- 50+ Sample Datasets (Often useless and a lot of wasted space if not used)
- Native BLAS Interface (Extremely niche usecase)
Edit: To be fair, it does say right at the very beginning "with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computing applications". So they are upfront about it, but the library name and HN submission name are confusing because they don't make this obvious.
