Fortran has some linear algebra functions in the standard library.  :-)
Java and many other modern languages are pretty much actively hostile to
doing numerical computation,
so including a linear algebra package in the standard library of those
languages would just highlight how bad they are at it.
C++ has a tradition of not having a standard library for anything you might
actually need to get work done, so I wouldn't follow their example.
