Eh. No. C is meant to be lightweight. Many people, including pro-C++ individuals, agree the C++ standard library is way beyond bloated.

- 411111111111111 4y agoLet me preface this comment by mentioning that I've not written a single line of C in my time as a software engineer. Why would C cease to be lightweight if it added default libraries with lots of capability? I think this kind of library should generally be in user space, not standard lib as "standard lib is where libraries go to die" (they can't really be modified after because of backward compatibility) but I'm confused about your argument.
