How do you determine what goes into the standard library?
Lua: the standard library is extremely minimalist, and mostly operates within Lua's object model (i.e. not super low-level). The documentation for every standard library function, as well as the entire language fits on a single HTML page. The set of tools is very small, but they're extremely versatile, so I think it's a good example of how little you can get away with. In my opinion, the one glaring shortcoming of Lua's standard library is the lack of any filesystem support. You can read/write files, but you need to rely on third party libraries like LuaFileSystem to get basic filesystem stuff like directory traversal or listing files.

Building Lua on Windows
The Lua ecosystem is just fine on Windows if one is careful to use modules with both native Win32 and *NIX support. For example, the Lua File system module goes to a lot of bother to run just as well in a Windows and a *NIX environment.
