> Do we really need Python and other languages? Isn't C, Lisp, Fortran enough?

Well, actually... Those days we already had Prolog, Miranda, ML, Smalltalk... Lisp was already doing stuff even today's languages are just starting to do...

I don't know, but I kind of think that yes, that was quite enough... imagine if all the effort that went into Java/Swift/Python/JS had been put into those great languages.
