All languages that are sufficiently widely used eventually become 'layer-cake' languages.

It's inevitable once you have multiple big groups of people with very different needs. And once language design and best practices has evolved from where it was when the language was originally developed.

The only ones that escape this problem aren't widely used enough to have much demand for new features or changes.
