The C++ standard covers the C++ standard library. As Ada has an Ada standart library and indeed C has an C standard library which are all part of the ISO standarts in question. >> But prove me wrong and show me any successful slim language - which > has not >> become fat (either by language or by build in library) withing 10 > years of >> becomming successfull. > Personally I prefer slimmer languages and fatter libraries whenever > possible. As lot of people do. I rather prefer explicid feature - not matter if language or library. What *I* don't like are implicid features. Example: Most C/C++ compiler I know of have a compiler option for "ANSI aliasing only" - I usualy activate is since I avoid aliasing anyway but do I realy know what it means. *NO* - about 2 meters away is it C ISO standart - I could read it up - but I don't because all I would get is a headache if I tried too.
