> What is the primary reason to create a new programming language?

The reason is that creating a new programming language is easier than learning C++.

For this same reason none of these languages will ever amount to anything useful. If you have the patience and foresight to bring a new programming language to fruition, then you have the patience and foresight to learn C++. You grow up and start programming in a real language.

I, uh...I know a little C++ :)

I like to think that when I'm writing Kit, I'm writing C, so I am writing in a "real language." Total interop, no real drawbacks.
