In what way can a programming language be objectively better than another language? I thought they were tools for accomplishing specific goals? It's not like we hold competitions declaring hammers being better hammers than screwdrivers.

Which is better: a butter knife or a machete?

If you're cutting butter, than using a machete would be over-kill.

If you're cutting a large branch or stick, a butter knife might work but will take a lot longer.
