There is often the desire to formalize all concepts under a single, over-arching, unifying language, of which everyone learns from and adds their discoveries to, and it is perfect in clarity, unchanging in form, and eternal in elegance. But I think that desire often stems from the fact that learning stuff is hard. It doesn't matter what you are learning, if it is foreign enough to your brain, then it's hard. It makes everything seem in vain, that there is always more to do. But, everything is interesting, because there is always more to do. Also, creativity. We don't have to be dictators or communists over our programming languages. We can be artists, scientists, mathematicians, and poets.
