Because it's not optimal for programming. It's however great for scripting. If you are a good enough programmer you want the power of ex regular expressions and you can solve almost any problem out there. If you aren't you aren't much better off as you still need to learn how to program. As a scripting language however it can be great because you can be much more opinionated about what should be prioritized. What would be much more interesting and useful IMO was if normal languages created a visual environment akin to the visual programming languages we see sometimes.
