Why dont we have a universal coding language?

There is no “universal” programming language, just as there is no universal type of software to solve a business problem. Developers must pick and choose their preferred languages based on what they’re trying to build, their aptitude, plus the job at hand.

Why is standardization important for any programming language?

Programming language standardization is presented as a major aid in making the right language choice to solve a software problem. This is illustrated using the historical and conceptual background of the language Forth. Subsequently we summarize general aspects of a good language standard.

Why are programming languages different?

The answer to why we have different programming languages is because they do different things to some degree. There are indeed cases where something could have written the same way in multiple languages, and you picked the one that you prefer.

What is the purpose of standard style of coding?

A coding standard gives a uniform appearance to the codes written by different engineers. It improves readability, and maintainability of the code and it reduces complexity also. It helps in code reuse and helps to detect error easily. It promotes sound programming practices and increases efficiency of the programmers.

Why do we need more complex programming languages?

If it were more complex, it would allow us to hide all this complexity behind a simple function call. This is what programming is: Different programming language features allow us to express things in different ways. The programming industry evolves, and so programming languages do too.

Do new programming languages replace old programming languages?

In some cases, it is really impressive how old languages like C++, Java, or JavaScript can have good support for functional programming elements they were not designed for. But the problem is that new features do not replace old ones — instead they are added on. In terms of programming language features, more is not necessarily better.

Can a language ever become universal?

A different kind of answer to the others – I actually think there is potential for a language to become a “universal” one, allowing the features and paradigms of many other languages, though not perhaps a strictly designed language you might be thinking of.

Is there a universal programming language for computer programming?

The closest thing we have to a universal language is C. C maps very closely to the underlying hardware concepts (how things actually get done in hardware) and programs in every* language is convertible to C.
