There are languages with big standard libraries and first party frameworks.
I can build a complex web app in C# using only packages published by Microsoft in ASP.NET and EF.
Python ships with a lot of "batteries included".
Not saying I expect that from rust considering the funding/team size discrepancy and language targets - but I disagree that every language is same in this regard - JS/Node is notoriously bad, Rust is around C++ level, and plenty of higher level languages have first pary/standard library stacks.
Rarely that's ever true. Hardware and software assumption will change over time. E.g. Simd is rare and not available to 99% of hardware has it, pointer is 16/32/64 bit wide, that API is available, SGML/JSON/XML is all parsing you will ever need.
