“Every language was created for a specific purpose”

Question

I was reading the post Why Language is Important (Why I prefer C#) from \'Dot Net Thoughts\' and the first paragraph of the article ends with this statement:

Answer 1

• Perl, because developers should learn to appreciate pain
• C++, because 5 people on the planet should be able to create Operational Systems and embedded systems and because D was too far into the alphabet
• C, because B needed a successor
• D, because C needed a "real" successor
• Python, because writing angle brackets are bad to your health
• Java, because C++ was too difficult and Gosling thought (falsely) that we needed a language without Multiple Inheritance
• VB, because Bill Gates' children needed "VB inheritance"
• C#, because Java started stealing market shares from "Visual C++"

But I guess that list might be controversial for some ... ;)
