when they decided not to add useful strings to the language
#include <string.h>
there's lots of string functionality there.... get your facts right man
Having "string functionality" is not remotely the same thing as having "useful strings". First off, the functionality has to be applied manually, and the string doesn't properly exist as an object. Second, it's a real pain to use.
Holding up string.h here is sort of like setting up a dog's dinner bowl in the kitchen, having your child fill it daily, and emptying it daily when noone is looking; and then claiming to have bought the child a dog. The functionality is there but the expected agent isn't, and it's not really all that useful.
