The question of "Do we really need another programming language?" is one that comes up time and time again. The answer is often one of the following: * No - We have languages that are turing-complete so new languages have no benefit. * Yes - New languages can take trends that make their way into other languages in the form of libraries and built them directly into the language, making the source code cleaner. * Yes - New hardware (cf. multi-processors) enables new features which can't be exploited by older languages. * No - New languages segment the population, meaning we keep re-inventing the wheel by writing the same libraries over and over again.
