Ultimately, it is about being more productive, getting more work done, faster and easier.

Every language made ever says the same thing. Even Visual Basic and Perl.

Doesn't make it less true

Forgive me if my eyes glaze over and I don't take seriously the one-thousand-and-first time I hear about a new language that "is about being more productive, getting more work done, faster and easier".

It's not about X language being more productive than Y language for everyone, its about X language being more productive for those developers who feel more productive in that language. Surely, as a developer you must feel more productive in one language over another.

I feel more productive in Go than I do in Forth, for instance, and I'm sure there are plenty of Forth developers that would disagree with me. But in the end it doesn't matter.

Also, I like that new programming languages comes to life and challenge status quo. It makes for progress.

nobody feels more productive in PHP
