Your comment is a great argument for languages that make compromises to be good at some domains and not others. I’ve hated every general-purpose language I’ve ever used, and the ecosystem mess is probably why.

Oh yeah, totally. The more domain-specific you get, the more coherent (and narrowly powerful) your experience can be.

However, there are obvious costs in terms of context-switching, learning curve, career flexibility, and so on, which is why general-purpose languages are so popular.
