# 0. Decouple Standard Library
In some languages, certain syntactical or environmental features depend on the presence of a standard library. Even C does to an extent, with the `= { 0 }` intializer (it calls memset in the background). The ARF standard library will be fully optional, and decoupled from the language. Parts of the standard library should be decoupled from eachother as well. There must be some internal dependencies among them (for example, things like IO and memory management, as well as common interfaces and generics) but it should be as non-monolithic as possible.
