But if a language makes a particular thing easy, it also forces you to adopt a certain premise and accept the way the language solves that particular problem. This also limits you.

Every new language wants you to accept a new premise.

I’ve got a friend who rewrote parts of the C++ standard lib to optimize it for his purposes. I guess an STL isn’t the same as a language, but my friend’s efforts is maybe a small version of people recreating a new language to solve a problem.
