:Another grey area might be languages where the ''norm'' is to use libraries from a another language that it is very close to. All the .Net languages might use a standard Bignum implemented in C#; or JVM languages use the standard Java Bignum. In these cases, where the languages regularly and normally share 'standard' libraries, then I think they should go ahead and use it. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 09:14, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
:I guess I'm trying to make the '... (included)' tasks show more of what comes with very little effort, and is known to work, with the language itself. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 09:23, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
::So, you're looking for what people can do within the language or with a very common add-on library? (In some languages, it's normal and expected to be using extra libraries for things, and so the core language itself has very little functionality.) –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 11:49, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
