Cadillac languages with a bunch of stuff in the std lib take away a lot of fussy bike shedding problems. I like not having to worry about library selection in my first through fifth revisions.

I’m willing to put up with a lot more using a built in. It’s built in, a junior dev can be expected to cope with that. Adding dependencies has a cost. Usually the cost is bigger than realized at the time.
