Well, I meant from the point of view of the act of programming. It is understood that programming languages have other strengths and weaknesses. For example, JavaScript will be more suitable to programming in browser app than Python, even though Python is better general purpose language. Those strengths and weaknesses frequently come down to some pretty arbitrary choices the author made and have nothing to do with the language. I can imagine situation where JavaScript never happened and instead we would be programming browsers in Python.
