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.

    let hem keep at it. I haven’t found an easy and verstile language as Python than can compile to byte code and be as fast a C ! I know it is coming anytime now despite having been waiting for over a decade.

      I won’t claim it’s as easy as Python, but that’s the rough area that Nim is aiming for. Going from dynamically typed to statically typed is always going to be kind of painful, but I’ve liked the language overall.

      Also, we have a Nim community here, if anyone is interested: https://programming.dev/c/nim

      I’m not sure it can really be as fast as C in general.
