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?
In: 187
Some have built in features for making certain operations easier. Some have syntax that requires fewer characters/keystrokes to write the same expression in another language. Some are more strict than others, meaning some languages will let you get away with certain errors and continue to operate while some will stop running completely on the same error. Some require you to define certain details about your code in order to work, while others allow you to define things loosely and handle the details for you. Most of the things I listed are advantages to some programmers and disadvantages to others, depending on their projects and preferences
