I’m saying these things aren’t “language features” at all. I applaud their creation, but “batteries built in” has always seemed to me like a terrible design decision compared to “batteries provided” especially considering that many of these things would have been perfectly satisfactory generic tooling. Now we have people yapping about C++ not having a build system because they’re all habituated to a world where every language has its own, different build system built in.
