You know, there is this flashy new language called Rust. Not that well known yet, I admit. It doesn't have any of the above in the standard library, apart from threads, and it seems to be doing fine... Building a language is a massive amount of work already. Building out a reasonable cross platform standard library is a huge amount of work on top. These things can easily provided by libraries. (apart from concurrency) Besides, if you look at the commit history, the language doesn't seem to be developed anymore anyway, just a few commits in the last year.

You showed one example (Rust) where it was/is not in the case. My personal preference is to have them included YMMY :)

Keep in mind that Rust has a package manager (+ registry) and build system as part of its distribution. The whole mentality of "small, reusable crates" is what makes a small standard library reasonable.
