Trying to find the most productive language for all tasks seems like a quixotic quest. Each language encodes a set of expressions that are succinct to communicate, at the expense of some others. There are some basic information theoretical and computational complexity reasons for this.
There will always be different languages that are best suited to certain tasks, and the goal should be to make it easy (tools, systems) to work with many languages equally well, or to allow switching anywhere like with human languages.
