I don't quite understand this -- could you give an example of a language that has better support for libraries as part of its language specification? I don't think the C specification includes linking (or even the ABI, though C++ grew an ABI specification later), so it seems to be about at the same point of "get your code into scope somehow". Browsers use <script> for that, and many an AJAX toolkit has added new capabilities to the environment through just that means.
