All programing languages are the same but differ in syntax ?!

Do you agree ?

False, they are not the same, they can be similar but there would not be need to use different languages just to change the syntax, they perform different tasks, as i always said... choose the language most suitable to your projects! Once you learned a language it won't be hard try different languages, in that case can be a matter of syntax and singularities of the language you're programming with.

Definitely not. Languages are classified by generation (1-5GL). In general / on the way up, specificity decreases, abstraction increases and the language (ideally) does more for you. 5GL includes AI...and Android's build system "gradle" feels like it should be around here. Examples from link: 1GL: binary. Programming is literally via a bank of switches in a binary representation (punch cards were just holes for switches). 2GL: Assembly 3GL: C, C++, Java, javascript 4GL: Python, Ruby, Perl, PHP, SQL 5GL: Prolog, AI (though actually still hard to define) https://www.computerhope.com/jargon/num/1gl.htm
