I don't understand this.  I'm assuming that you don't mean that
programming languages should have every possible and foreseeable
technology built in as primitives.

Of course, libraries are not the only possible way to extend
languages.  Advanced languages support macros, ie.  changing and
extending the language itself to support new idioms.
