If you count the standard library as being "within the language" that is 
certainly true.  When C became popular, every compiler included console 
functions such as getch(), gotoxy(), putpixel(), and clrscr().  These 
were left out of the 'Standard C Library' leaving only teletype 
primitives and that cost C portability and popularity. 

On the Euphoria front, though, I like the language clean and pretty much 
as it is.  One of its strengths is that it doesn't have a 
designed-by-committee architecture.  Isn't Java an 80Mb download now?
