If you believe in either of those philosophies, that last thing you
want to do is design a new language from the ground up when a suitable
library component is ready go. Rolling your own is comparable to
writing your own printf because you Ain't Gonna Need all of format
specifiers in the library version: it's a bastardization of the
philosophy, not adherence to it.
