Not the person you replied to but even when I stumbled over this (the network, not the game) for the first time, I was left wondering where the line is drawn.

Just.. no libraries? Are modern languages with batteries included ok? What makes a library for C worse than using Python? Is using Python too bloated already? Why is C ok and I don't have to bootstrap a compiler first? (E.g. building with Rust is a terrible experience from a performance perspective, the resulting software can be really nice and small)
I'm not even trying to be antagonistic, I simply don't understand. I'm just not willing to accept "you'll notice when you see it" as an example.
