Because there are like 10 person using it. Until the language grows and acquires a package manager it's easier to just put everything in the stdlib.

- Rayne 14y agoSure, but I'd vote for doing things right to begin with rather than waiting for complaining users. But I guess we might disagree on what 'right' means in this context. :)
- zimbatm 14y agoThere is another aspect too: when everything is in the stdlib it forces developers to collaborate and not create their Nth implementation of the same lib because theirs is better. There is a breaking point in number of developers where it becomes more efficient to distribute the work trough a package manager but then you also introduce package hunting which can become quite a time consuming task.
