Two questions.  Same answer.  Because less is more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Imagine how effecient and less complicated your compiler becomes when you
remove all the unneccessary bells and whistles and just leave the pure and
clean, unadulterated core.  Bells and whistles are for libraries (which are
optional in a project) while the core should be a finely crafted tool.  It's
one of the main things that attracted me to the language in the first place.
