> Can we just stop building new programming languages?
We build new programming languages and we do research on programming languages because we want to offer developers better tools to write programs. We want tools that make it simpler, safer, and faster to write correct programs. We want tools that increase productivity and that aid in program maintenance.
The situation is not unlike why we would want better airplanes, better houses, or better surgical instruments.
