You are confusiong the language and the libraries. C++ has no vector, no
array not even strings, just pointers to chunk of memories.

Ada has array which support 'first 'last 'length 'range slice and more.

If we count libraries why not say then that Ada or C++ has matrix support or
database support... !!!!
