Nothing wrong with this. Very successful languages like Python and JavaScript has tons of reimplementations of the same things because those languages are _easy_. This isn't a loss for the language it's a victory. If a lot of people can use it that's good.
As a consequence there will be lots of garbage libs, like there are lots of garbage libs in Python and JavaScript.
