Me too. That's why I'm building – you guessed it – another language ;-)

Seriously though - what's your take on the subject?


Programming languages are often not standards in any official capacity. They are created by and for a cummunity who is expected to learn on a constant basis. IMO the proliferation of new programming is a good thing, potentially creating new ways of approaching problems, or at least iterating on existing proven languages.


Sometimes the 15th standard finally wins. And if not, hey, what's the harm of yet another? They're fun to make!
