You would be surprised how many valuable problems and solutions have not been solved by anyone before. Apparently, it happens to be the norm in the wild. My understanding is that it's about how far one is willing to strive for an ideal.

A final language? I like the sound of it. No more picking complexity, latency, simplicity, expressiveness, portability and other tradeoffs.
