Why are there so many programming languages? And why are there still being so many made? I would think you would try to perfect what you have instead of making new ones all the time. I understand you need new languages sometimes like quantumcomputing or some newer tech like that. But for pc you would think there would be some kind of universal language. I’m learning java btw. I like programming languages. But was just wondering.
well … we all know the perfect programming language was created way back in 1960
And that link somehow doesn’t open well for me, something about a bracket I believe
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisp_(programming_language)Ugh, for my work we maintain a software add-in written in Lisp and it’s a nightmare to work on
I thought that link was going to point to this other great programming language
(What do (you) mean? ( Lisp certainly has its (downsides) and (upsides)))
(do (What) (you mean))
(has Lisp (and (its downsides) (its upsides)))
[Lisp would be a VSO language]
You’re wrong. COBOL is obviously the most perfect language since it can be easily written by managers and people who don’t know how to program, right?
