Standard library

The standard library is voluntarily small and minimal for this early release. As the language gains features and stabilizes, the right way to offer APIs will become more obvious, and the major use-cases of the language will be better known, allowing for better decisions regarding what makes sense to include in the stdlib.

There are currently five (7) stdlib modules:

• conv to provide value conversions and type inspection.
• filepath to provide file path manipulation functions, a subset of Go's path/filepath package.
• fmt to provide formatted I/O, a subset of Go's fmt package.
• math to provide the usual mathematical functions, a subset of Go's math and math/rand packages.
• os to provide file access and process manipulation, a subset of Go's os, os/exec and io/ioutil packages.
• strings to provide string manipulation functions and regular expressions, a subset of Go's strings and regexp packages.
• time to provide date and time functions and types, a subset of Go's time package.
