C has namespaces, just not user-definable.
doh, you know what I meant
Both of those things can use libraries if you really can't be bothered to do so yourself (in fact, most languages' features like that are essentially libraries themselves)
You're missing the point. Of course they could be implemented in C and maybe are too but in sepples they're in the highly reliable and commonly used standard library. I don't want to browse the internet for some shitty half assed bug ridden library that hasn't been updated in a decade and that no one knows just to not have to reinvent the wheel.
