>Why does language design continue to be a subjective topic? its not like computers need cultures !
I think this is because all these 'languages' are ultimately human languages and not machine languages. What I mean to say is, at the end of the day all programming languages are abstractions of the human mind to make our life easier. Some times, a hammer makes our life easier in some situations, some times you need a fork.
A programming language is literally a tool to tell the computer to /do something/, and as the /something/ changes, so does the best tool to do that something.
