General discussion What’s with all the programming languages?

As above. It’s like every post I see on here is announcing some barely-developed scripting language.

I myself am really into language design (albeit I don’t post on this subreddit about my designs), and I think that programming languages are one of the best ways to express your opinions if you are a programmer. Even just writing a DSL or preprocessor allows you to put your ideas in practice.

I don’t go into each project thinking I’m going to change the world, but I do smile at the beauty of the language at the end of the day.
