Yeah, I don't know what point you are making?
totally impractical to do ALL of your own
code/libraries. 'C' came with a bunch, which
rapidly became more numerous. Good Programmers
wrote these and most serve VERY well for
decades.
My printf was a bit limited, I will admit
Other langs follow this same pattern. UnlessThe original Unix boys did tho
you're insane, and on huge doses of amphetamines,
it is just not practical to do it ALL yourself.
Hey, wanna write big apps in ASM ? Kinda DID thatNot heard of macro assembler?
around the dawn of the PC era ... kinda fun then,
