Hmm... all languages I've seen mentionne so far have no official standard.

As long as the language is designed by a single person/company/body,
providing bindings as the author pleases is easy. When it comes to
standardization, you have to account for various operating systems and
lots of "details" that make it a lot more difficult.

Matthew Heaney (I hope I got it spelled right) had a very nice
containers library. Ask him about what happened when turning it into a
standard...
