Yes, I know. We had this "C runs on systems that don't even have disk" excuse for so long it's became a cultural thing.

I'm not sure where to draw the distinction between a language and a platform and I don't think I care. Those additions will make C++ way more useful, libraries will become more composable, binaries smaller, and life will be easier for 99.9% of people who use C++. So, I'm glad they finally dropped the lowest common denominator approach - we've been making our own batteries for way too long.
