My first, and primary, programming language was C# which includes probably too large a standard library. It was definitely a surprise to see how minimal/simple other standard libraries are!

Like Python though, while the batteries are included, many of them are dead.

It begs the question, why don't these languages put out a v2 stdlib?

Broadly speaking, maintaining a big std lib is a huge amount of work, so it makes sense that a language team is conservative about adding new surface to a stb lib which they will then have to maintain for a long time.

Why it is "huge amount of work" ? Do the code reliably breaks in every new python version ?
