Zig's standard library is structured so that you only compile what you need, so Zig has no problems adding richer functionality to its standard library. This is influenced by Zig's decision to only have a single compilation unit per compile.
HTTP, for example, can go into Zig's standard library, whereas C or Rust cannot do that. This helps control package explosion.
