Do we need more new languages? Will AI need a number of languages to complete the the task?

We need better languages than the current ones. In many dimensions. We need lots of new languages because the design tradeoffs are viscously difficult and the language design field is only really progressing by trial and error.

Even if you're hardcore obsessed with AI as the one true path to everything, having it write JavaScript is definitely not a global optimum.

Definitely, because to a first approximation all the ones we already have are crap.
