One part of the philosophy of the language maintainers is that they're somewhat humble about their designs in the standard library, and very much against breaking changes.

Some folks prefer absl's flat_hash_map over std::unordered_map for a hash table, and it's not great that you need to choose or risk having both in a codebase, but it _is_ nice that you can have your preferred hash table and use operator[] whichever you decide.

Python also has operator overloading, and people seem to like that numpy can exist using it. And container types. Weirdly doesn't cause much consternation compared to C++ (maybe because the criticisms of the latter come from C programmers?)

I've occasionally missed overloading in JS/TS though.
