Although I appreciate this discussion, both the OP and you are off-topic. This is a library design issue, not a language level issue.
If people like OP are dissing a language because they don't like a particular library's API, they have very strange expectations from the language. And if you are worried about this section of users, then I would say in order to make good use of your time, it is best to ignore them.
- PeterisP 13y agoFor all practical purposes, you're never comparing just the core language, but the language+libraries for common tasks (no matter if it ships 'batteries included' or not)+the whole ecosystem and community of library developers. If it's hard to do X in your language, but easy in other languages - then that's a weakness for your language, despite that 90% of X's will be outside of the language core. And even 'optional extras' in your language can be weaknesses instead of features - if they are often used by library makers for less readable/maintainable code than the other options.
