That's an odd opinion given that modern languages don't even want to
have basic input and output as part of the language; they're offloaded
to a library. And in your example, which I don't really understand, it
seems more like the headache of the application.
(Where a language allows elements of a program to be disseminated across
a network, that's rather different, and an advanced feature that only
some languages might have. Not all.)
