Programming problems are diverse, and so are languages. It's similar to what we have in human languages - if you're talking deep specifics of medicine, it's quite different than if the matter discussed is car performance, even if both languages are based on English. I'd hesitate to point to Lisp, with its ability to be "programmable programming language". The modus operandi, explained by e.g. PG, is to create a domain-specific language and then solve the problem using that DSL. This way you can have a great variety of problems which are relatively accessible by such a language... Would like to know more alternatives to the topic.
