If a screw, a nail, a steel bolt, and welding all stick two pieces of metal together, what’s the point of having all these types?

The answer is that while the use cases and abilities of these things may seem the same on the surface, each thing has strengths and weakness great enough that separate use cases emerge. In this we can see the premise is false, you can’t use any algorithm in any language.

You can’t build the Golden Gate Bridge out of nails, and you cant make an OS using Python.
