I think we should continually fold new libraries into the language. Basically "batteries included", collapse the dependency tree.
I found that the standard python library has enormous functionality that makes it possible to solve many problems in a self-contained fashion.
This sort of solution will give you a big toolbox spread out in front of you. You will be less likely to re-invent the wheel. Many eyes on the standard library may lead to optimizations used by everyone.
And it makes it possible to share effectively. You can talk about functions with others using common terms. You can share your code and it will work in other environments. Education can teach in an unambiguous fashion.
