Why are there things like c++ and python when computers have to be programmed. Why does there need to be so many languages when one could solve it?
In: 222
I’m going to interpret the question a little differently than most people have. Setting aside the fact that some languages are better at specific tasks than others, why are there so many so-called “general-purpose” languages that supposedly can do anything? The answer is someone said “Hmmm, so I can do this with X, but it has this one thing I think could be better. I’m gonna make my own language and call it Y” and then another person said “Hmmmm, I think Y could be improved upon” and so on and so forth.
