E.g. every compiler uses control flow graphs; so why doesn’t every language give me a batteries-included digraph ADT, that has every feature you’d need to implement a control flow graph, such that the compiler’s CFG is just a stdlib digraph instance?

By the same token, I'd like to see dynamic languages with a tracing JIT, show what types are used in the actual runtime. There was an article posted to HN a few years back, where some researchers noted that most dynamic language servers seem to go through an initial startup period, where there's some dynamic type shenanigans, then settle down to a state where the types are basically static.
