its like this.
is there only one tool in your toolbox? no? why not? cuz you need the right tool for the right job, obv
thats why there are lots of languages. new languages are tools for jobs.
the 'jobs' change over time and so do their requirements... the languages are just evolving to match our required workflows

Yes, evolution. The best measure of fitness in any system is diversity so many languages may be unweidly for any one person but they’re more fit as a whole system.
