"There are too many programming languages" in general feels like a weird complaint. One that seems rooted in fear towards the act of creation. Acting as if the evolution and proliferation of PL ideas is over. That the history of computing is completed.

@capital if the language i, personally, like is perfect in every way then why would someone waste their time making another? and the suggestion it isn't perfect is insulting to me

@niss Ass is truthful and the vibe is real. The idea that someone could be so discontent with existing languages is insanity for some. The idea of someone could feel *inspired* to make another language, unthinkable.

@capital How dare we *checks notes* pursue new frontiers of research in a field defined by pursuing new frontiers in research..

Anybody that discourages that doesn't belong in this field.
