What does it even mean for a programming language to "satisfy the new user's demand?" Like when has the user ever cared whether your app is built in Python or Ruby or Common Lisp?

It's like "what notebook do I need to buy to pass my exams," or "what kind of car do I need to make sure I get to work on time?"

Yet I'm 100% certain that real human executives have had equivalent conversations.
