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 would say it’s because most/all programmers realise that computer programming is really maths, and good maths is something that feels pure to people who understand it…
For example, Einstein’s famous equation, e=mc², is wonderfully simple, but gives a massive insight into so much physics.
As programmers we feel we are scratching the surface of something that will be obvious once we have the right language for it, so we keep trying again to find the right one.
A bit deep perhaps, but also maybe true 🙂
