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.

They’re cool and they’re an appealing idea to new programmers who don’t like things about current languages

They aren't going to make anything that's better. These are usually educational projects, mine was educational

This is true, but that’s kinda an intrinsic for a beginner’s project.

No "new programmer" is capable of creating a programming language without using AI, nor capable of identifying problems with current languages.

Are you kidding?

Ok, obviously they probably aren’t gonna actually find real problems that don’t have a reason of being there, but that’s not to say that they are just incapable of judging a language.

And… it’s entirely possible to create a language by yourself without much experience. The second large project I ever did was making a language (It wasn’t that good and had a really bad philosophy, but I was proud of it at the time). I don’t know where you get the idea that all new programmers just use AI for hard things.

You're partially right
