I think there is a reason why Java's library is trying to provide all 
the standard things that the coders might need. If you have a small std 
library, like phobos, or stdc, then there will be several groups of 
people trying to code the things missing. And so you have bazillion 
different libraries trying to solve the same problem. Trying to find the 
  one that best fits your needs is a pain. Like trying to find the best 
linux distro. You can make a nice analogy with linux and freebsd e.g. 
It's very much the same. And majority of people will tell you that only 
one instance of FreeBSD is a better thing than hundreds of instances of 
linux
