Basically stuff every other language has by default. It's this stuff that
makes or breaks a language now. Make it easy for people to develop desktop
apps from the get go. People don't want to be stuck making console apps,
they want to see stuff visually. Ada is a better Pascal, yet the seriously
limited Pascal has been extended to death and can do more out of the box
now, even though the language is crap by comparison. See Lazarus / Delphi.
