There's tons of Python too, wouldn't you say? In a way, it's good - people are discovering what works and moving it forwards. Language fragmentation often seems like a shame - because most of the time, programming languages don't fit into different niches, we just have a multitude of general-purpose languages with a few special features to argue over. There's some hope that, over long periods of time (longer than our typical careers) languages will combine good features, genetic-algorithm style, and in the end we'll get even better languages.
