I agree.

But here I'm just talking of the "public image" of the language.

Languages which integrates HTTP-related components in their 
standard library, and advertize on that (like Crystal for 
instance), obviously apply a different "marketing" strategy than 
languages which have chosen not to do so.

That's all I say...

I personally appreciate that my Go and Crystal code is mostly 
based on standard components which are updated along with the 
language, but I agree that vibe.d can perfectly get the job done 
if you better trust thirdparty libraries for that.
