why does anyone ever need another programming language than their first
Turing complete one?
I don't want to get into my philosophy of the necessities of change in
any field of human endeavor, even if that change should lead to worse
results - the indicator of which would be the switch from Keynesian
economics over the last couple of decades as popular fields of economic
studies, often replaced with economic theories that do a worse job of
prediction. This is not to indicate that I think UBF would be worse, it
seems very comprehensible such as for example the irc example at
