Aside from the fact that there are many specializations that certain languages are made to fit (for example, the way C++ and Java manages memory is wildly different, and it shows all over the language design and the standard libraries), if you gather four random programmers, you’ll get about six opinions on which that “one language” should be, and you will probably need to keep sharp or heavy objects away from them if you ask the question with all of them in the same room.
