Some languages make it easy to do complicated math. Some languages make it easy to make web pages or games. Some languages work well on tiny chips like old solar powered calculators. Some languages work well on super computers in the cloud. It would be hard to make a language that was good at everything.

Imagine trying to make the perfect hammer. Some hammers are good for banging in nails, some are good for knocking down a concrete wall.
