That's because really cool languages provide you with the power to build what you want, not the ton's of built-in fancy features.

There is one advantage in having necessary stuff built into the language: others can understand your code quickly.

As for printing, it is so basic and simple, if implemented right of course, that I wouldn't call it "tons of fancy features".
