Reducing all this complexity is partly why I'm hoping the Red Language project can succeed where Rebol failed. Of course you can't do everything, but a good full-stack language could cover perhaps 80% of software needs using well written DSLs. The simple fact that we have so many languages targeting the same thing is a waste and duplicative effort (Java, C#, Kotlin, Scala, Clojure, F#...etc) for business apps and (Python, Matlab, Julia, R, and Fortran) for data science and scientific programming. Also systems languages like (C, C++, Ada, Rust). On one side it is good to have purpose built languages, but on another it puts a big barrier to entry. Note that I'm advocating for abstractions, but far fewer languages. Yes, abstractions add complexity, but actually make the code more readable. I shudder to think of humanity having to maintain and support ever increasing levels of software.
