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.

The same reason anyone creates a new product in an existing market - they want money.

For which language do you have to pay the language inventor to use it?

  • That sentence may be grammatically … questionable …, but I don’t know how to write that correctly now.
