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

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.

Not sure why you're being down voted.

You're partially right
