What makes different programming languages “better” than others? Or more powerful? Why have different languages developed over time? Are they all based on the same thing?

Programming languages might not be “better” overall, but they could be better at certain things. Granted, most of them will have almost identical sets of features, but would perform better under some given circumstances or would be better applied with an specific paradigm.
What could set them apart, however, and this is specially true for some of those PL that have gone mainstream, is the ecosystem (tools, libraries, community support, etc).
