Question

¿no era más fácil hacer uno solo general?

Answer 1

Hi, sorry if I answer in English but I do not speak Spanish at all. I'll tell you that I have always had your same question when I was younger, then I found the way to understand every single thing that I learn or use, why it is this, how it was born and the background it has. The cause has to be found in the history and purpose of everyone. First of all let's consider that they are strictly correlated between each other, they derive one from another etc. They are not born in the same years (C: 1972, C++: 1985, C#: 2000, Java:1999, etc.) These dates are about right, but they are just to make understand... for example c# has been the Microsoft answer to Java, Python has been made by a Dutch guy a few years later because he would have liked to have it before, HTML (it is not a proper language) has been made by CERN to launchI Internet (don't judge this last sentence...) and so on...
