If people in 2002 had decided that we don't need new languages, we wouldn't have had Go, or Rust, or Scala, or Kotlin, or (my favourite for scientific programming) Julia. What has changed in 2022 that we don't need new languages any more? Or are you saying we didn't need the above languages either?

Or, going back further; by 1960 we had FORTRAN, LISP, ALGOL and COBOL. Why did we bother with C, FORTH, Smalltalk, BASIC, Prolog, SQL, ML, Pascal, Logo, Common Lisp, Ada, Objective-C, Haskell, Python, R, Ruby, Java, Delphi, PHP, JavaScript, C#, the ones you named, and more, when we had "enough" programming languages?
