alt Hacker NewsLanguage's own native data-structures are generally much more capable and vast. 99%+ developers use only a very limited set of those capabilities. This approach packages those most used ones into a nice, consistent DSL.

agreed but depends on then language. for instance, the .NET equivalent (MemoryCache) is pretty poor.
Doesn’t depend on the language? Actually I am thinking of the standard library… Python’s in kinda huge and some are hard (for me) to grasp. Golangs seem pretty simple.
